The genes to be resistant to an antibiotic already exist in the bacteria's genes.  Those whose phenotypes are resistant to the antibiotic will survive the antibiotic which kills the other non-antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  The surviving bacteria will then asexually reproduce, producing more antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Describe the trophic structure of energy in an ecosystem
ale4655 [162]
As you go up in an ecosystem the bigger animals have less energy. While the organisms down at the bottom like plants that create their own energy have greater amounts. This is because energy is rated doing everyday things. As energy travels up the food pyramid, it looses more and more energy. This is knower as the 10% rule. In which every time you go up 10% of energy is lost.

Cell at metaphase of mitosis contains 20 sister chromatids, how many chromosomes will be present in a g1 cell? if a cell at meta
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 10.

The cell cycle can be divided into four phases namely gap 1 (G₁) phase , synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G₂) phase, and  mitosis (M) phase.

DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) content is only replicated and doubled in the S phase. However, the chromosome number remains the same. It can be explained as the number of chromosomes remains the same (2n) but number of chromatids doubles (4n) after S phase.

The number of chromatids restores to 2n in daughter cells after completion of mitosis.

Hence, if number of chromatids in metaphase was 20 i.e. 4n then the number of chromosomes (2n) would be 10.

Hence, 10 chromosomes or 5 pairs of chromosome would be present in the cell during its G₁ phase.
