The correct answer is option:
The peak of the bell curve has shifted to the right, with a greater frequency of crickets with long legs and a lower frequency of crickets with short legs.
The given condition would lead the directional selection of the crickets with long legs. Directional selection leads to shifting of curve in one direction, which is more suitable.
The crickets with short leg get easily caught by predators, so, after sometime, there would be a decrease in number of the crickets with short leg. At the same time, the crickets with long leg would manage to save themselves and their number would comparatively increased.
Answer:
Antibiotic resistance can evolved in bacterial population in the following ways:
Explanation:
- In response to constant exposure to antibiotics some members of a bacterial population develop some beneficial mutations in some essential genes that gives them survival advantage in terms of food and space over the sensitive bacterial strains and hence they are capable of out-competing the sensitive bacteria.
- This happens due to the process of Natural Selection.
- These genes are called antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria usually carry them on plasmids in form of cassettes where genes resistant to multiple drugs are incorporated. These plasmids are called the MDR or Multi-Drug Resistance Plasmids.
- These resistant plasmids can be easily transferred among bacterial populations by conjugation, transformation or transduction or direct plasmid transfer.
- The resistant genes encode for proteins that render the drug ineffective by promoting their efflux from the cells, preventing their entry into the cell, chemically modifying them such that they become non-functional or altering the target site of the drug.
Aspects such as genetic engineering have allowed for
engineering of transgenic organisms such as bacteria to produce bioproducts
such as insulin to addresses medical disorders
such as diabetes. Another is the innovation of whole-genome sequencing that allows researchers
to determine genetic predisposition of a particular person to particular diseases.
They are different in structure as one serves in an open system (lymphatic system) while the other serves is closed system (circulatory system).
Hope this helps!
*This question is common, so this answer I use a lot. I copied my own work.*
The carrying capacity in the container when compare to the
yeast population at hour 16, it has reached carrying capacity however the waste
produced by the yeast has begun to damage or kill the yeast cells. It will
reach its maximum and will slowly begin to drop off after the point.
