<u>Answer</u>: option B through mutation

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Antibiotic resistance is the phenomena in which the bacteria becomes reistance to a given antibiotic and is no longer killed or harmed by it.
  • Bacteria unlike humand divide rapidly and increase in large number. However, each time it divides it has to replicate its genetic material. In the process of replication there is always a chance of introducing an error which is called as a <em>mutation</em>.
  • The mutation that occurs in a bacteria can either ber advantageous or disadvantageous. However, amongst the various type of mutations that arise in the bacteria if a particular mutation is conferring resistance to an antibiotic then in such case the bacteris gets selected by natural selection.
  • The bacteria having acquired thr resistance is then able to produce more of its progenies with the same antibiotic resistance and thus, this is how the resistance gets propagated.

So, firstly the <em>mutation</em> is the one which gives rise to the resistance which is then spread among the bacterial population by the process of reproduction as well horizontal gene transfer.

A tyrosine kinase receptor is different from a G-protein linked receptor in that it can trigger _________ at the same time. When
olga55 [171]

Answer:

  1. multiple pathways
  2. ligands/signaling molecules
  3. inorganic phosphate
  4. inactive relay proteins

Explanation:

Receptor Tyrosine Kinase:

  • Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) is the largest class of enzyme linked cell surface receptors.
  • When a growth factor or a ligand binds to two neighboring RTK receptors, the two receptors bind together and form a dimer.
  • This change in the conformation of the RTKs activates the associated tyrosine kinase enzymes.
  • Tyrosine kinases break down ATP to ADP and phosphorylate the RTKs. Cross phosphorylation between the receptors helps activate multiple tyrosine kinases on the neighboring RTK.
  • Once phosphorylated, the cytoplasmic ends of the RTKs are available for docking by relay proteins or signaling molecules with an SH-2 domain.

Which of the following functions does active transport perform in a cell
nadya68 [22]

Answer:functions

Primary active transport moves ions across a membrane and creates a difference in charge across that membrane. The primary active transport system uses ATP to move a substance, such as an ion, into the cell, and often at the same time, a second substance is moved out of the cell.

What are characteristics of stem cells
Lilit [14]
Stem cells differ from other kinds of cells in the body. All stem cells—regardless of their source—have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized; and they can give rise to specialized cell types.
