MRSA is the acronym for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Many of the strains of the common bacterium are also resist

ant to other antibiotics in use today. Resistance is linked to a collection of genes carried on plasmids that are passed on from bacterium to another by conjugation. Suppose a newly discovered, chemically different antibiotic is used in place of methicillin. What would be the most likely effect on Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance?
Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the S. aureus population.

Answer:

Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the Staphylococcus aureus population.

Explanation:

The main targets for antibiotics in staphylococci are the cell envelope, the ribosome and  nucleic acids. Resistance can either develop by horizontal transfer or by mutations in chromosomal genes. Acquisition of resistance by mutation can result from alteration of the drug target.

Answer:

A climax community

Explanation:

A climax community is a relatively stable community in which the component species are in equilibrium with one another.

Ecological succession involves a gradual change of the species composition structure of a community over a period of time.

<em>Depending on the initial state of a community, the species composition keeps changing from pioneer species of a completely new habitat in primary succession through secondary succession and, in the absence of disturbance, to a stable community which is referred to as a climax community.</em>

Answer:

Information about flowers

Explanation:

1. A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. The biological function of a flower is to affect reproduction, usually providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.

2. Information about stamen and pollen: The stamen is a male reproductive organ of a flower. It produces the pollen. The stamen has two parts: anther and stalk. After successful pollination, the pollen grain (immature microgametophyte) completes it's development by growing a pollen tube and the two male gametes move through the pollen tube to the ovule.
