The penicillin will kill the bacteria that were transformed is not a true statement.

Explanation:

The bacterial culture is genetically engineered with recombinant plasmids containing genes resistant to penicillin, hence when treated with penicillin, the bacteria will not be killed.

Bacteria develops resistance to chemicals or drugs like antibiotics namely penicillin over the course and becomes resistant to the drug action. The effectiveness of the drug will either be reduced or eliminated and the bacteria gains the ability to survive, reproduce and grow and increase their colony.

Recombinant bacteria will undergo genetic mutation and can develop resistance against antibiotics like penicillin. The recombinant plasmids further provides extra protection and prevents the entry of drugs or chemicals into the bacterial cell.

Alexxandr [17]

it's 1 hour

lord have mercy. another genshin player

explanation: divide the distance traveled by the rate of speed. since the distance traveled and the rate of speed are both stated in the same units of measurement, there's no unit conversion needed. so, you can just convert the miles per hour to miles per second, and then convert the total seconds to the hours/minutes or whatever

A person on a strict diet and exercise regimen lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of body fat in just two weeks. What is the most likel
BARSIC [14]

The most likely way that the lost fat left the body of a person on a strict diet and exercise regimen who lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of body fat in just two weeks is (A) It was released as CO₂ and H₂O.

Fats are the lipid molecules made of a glycerol backbone with 2 fatty acids and a phosphate head group. The body of an organism uses fat as an energy source, but it is the predominant form of storage of energy in the body. Fats can be of two types: good fat and bad fat. Only the food fat consumed in required amounts is beneficial for the body.

Strict diet is the calorie-restricted diet with fixed timings of meals. The restrictions and timings vary from person to person. When a person follows a strict diet along with exercise, beta-oxidation occurs inside the body where the fat is lost in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Help please! Describe the process of natural selection and how it affects hummingbird populations.
Kipish [7]

<span>Natural selection has 4 processes.</span>

<span>Individuals looks different and have different characteristics from another within their own species (genetic variation). Some characteristics suits better for the environment, which has to be passed on from one generation to the next. The humming birds with long bills will mate with those that have that too so they'll produce offspring with long bills. </span>

<span>The second process is over production of offspring. The humming birds produces lots of offspring but only a few survives. </span>

<span>Another factor of natural selection is struggle for existence, which leads to differential survival and reproduction. There are environmental pressures, like not having enough space or food, for example, humming birds compete fiercely for resources like nectar. Natural selection will favor individuals that are more efficient at getting nectar and natural selection will result in changes in wing shape which can allow them to fly longer distance and affect the length and shape of bill for them to drink nectar. Little changes may affect how well they feed and survive. Those who are the fittest survives and are most likely to reproduce and pass on their advantageous genes to their offspring. If the long bills are more advantageous and can survive better in a particular environment, then overtime, those with short bills will disappear because they can't survive and the entire population would have long bills.</span>
