The correct option is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.

Answer:

The correct answer is- mutation to the DNA sequence

Explanation:

A change in the DNA sequence by base-pair addition, deletion or substitution or by any other way bring mutation in the DNA. In bacteria, random mutation occurs in their DNA sequence which can change the codon sequence and results in coding for some enzymes or protein that deplete the effect of antibiotics on them which provide antibiotic resistance to the them.  

So by doing mutation in their DNA sequence bacteria can gain antibiotic resistance or the bacteria which already have the appropriate mutation in their DNA will be selected by natural selection and other bacteria will die due to antibiotic effect.  

Therefore genetic modification is caused by mutation in the genetic sequence.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1. hyaline cartilage

2. a fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In endochondral ossification to produce fetal vertebrae, cartilage is substituted with a bone. The process of endochondral ossification includes the development of hyaline cartilage, also called the cartilage model. The hyaline cartilage develops from the chondroblasts derived from mesenchymal cells. The division of chondroblasts results in the growth of hyaline cartilage. It is followed by the development of the primary ossification center wherein the cartilage tissue is replaced with the bone matrix.  

During the repair of these bones, a fibrocartilage callus is formed. Fibroblasts present in the site where the bone is broken produce collagen fibers and the cells derived from periosteum develop into chondroblasts and begin to produce fibrocartilage in this region. The fibrocartilage and collagen fibers together make the fibrocartilage callus that joins the broken ends of the bone.
