fungal and protist infections, especially those that are deeper than the skin, are especially hard to treat. why?​

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and explanation:

Fungi and protists are eukaryotic. However, antibiotics selectively targets prokaryotic cells. Thus, the use of antibiotics for the treatment of fungal and protist infection is of no use at the first place. Secondly, if we use the other medicines that could kill the fungi/protists (e.g. fungicides), they could also kill the host's cells (animal's cells). This become further difficult if the infection is deeper in the skin. This is because, we would not be able to apply the medicine as direct application on skin but would give either intravenous or via food. This would increase the chance of imacting negatively the other organs/cells. The only option in such scenario is the surgery, which cannot be 100% effective because some spores may left even after the treatment.

2.Which of the following represents a genetic cross between 2 individuals that are each heterozygous for both traits?
wariber [46]

Answer:

A. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

The term heterozygous refers to the presence of two different alleles of same gene in an organism. The one allele can be of wild type (original type) and one can be mutated or newly formed.

In the question, two traits are represented by two letters, A and B and alleles as A and a and B and b, respectively. We are asked about a cross involving two traits and two individuals in such a way that both are heterozygous.

If we look at option A, AaBb x AaBb,

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in heterozygous form (Aa and Bb) in both individuals.

If we look at option B. AABB x AABB

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in homozygous form form (AA and BB) in both individuals. Homozygous means when the alleles are same for each trait in an individual.

If we look at option C,Aa x Bb

There are not two traits, one trait of one individual and other trait of other individual is being crossed that is not possible.

If we look at option D. AAaa x BBbb

Again, the individuals are homozygous for two traits.


Therefore, A is best option.


Hope it helps!

Oxidising agents *
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Option A. are mostly non-metals.

Explanation:

Oxidising agents are mostly non-metals because non metals gains electron from the metal during chemical bond and we know that oxidising agent is electron accepter not donar. For example, Sodium is a metal react with chlorine which is a non-metal so the sodium losses electron and this electron is gain by chlorine atom forming sodium chloride. In this example chlorine is a non-metal which gains electron.
