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.

Body Type: DNA code- AGTGCCTTC RNA code- ___________ Amino Acid sequence (aka protein)- ___________________ Body Type?- ________
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • mRNA sequence - UCACGGAAG,
  • amino acid sequence - Ser-Arg-Lys, and
  • body type - dwarf

By central dogma, we know that nucleotide sequence of deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA) form the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain.

Nucleotide sequence of DNA is first decoded in the form of nucleotide sequence of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) under the process of transcription. The sequence of RNA is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of template strand of DNA. In addition, uracil is present in RNA in place of thymine.

tRNA (transfer RNA) then deciphers the codon sequence of mRNA into amino acid sequence of polypeptide sequence by the process of translation.

Now, given DNA sequence is AGTGCCTTC.

so, the mRNA sequence would be UCACGGAAG.

Codon sequence is UCA CGG AAG.

So, the amino acid sequence would be Ser-Arg-Lys.

Hence, the trait of showman performer would be dwarfism.

Codon sequence chart is attached for reference.

In addition to destabilizing glucose for subsequent breakdown, what else does phosphorylation of glucose do
V125BC [204]

Phosphorylation of glucose adopt the pentose phosphate pathway.

<h3>What Phosphorylation of glucose do?</h3>

The phosphorylation of glucose maintains the downhill gradient for metabolism of glucose and extramitochondrial glucose flux through the use of pentose phosphate pathway. Induction of the pentose phosphate pathway and the generation of NADPH may also contribute to protection against death of cells.

Researchers may be able to induce adult cells to behave like ______, an important advance in stem cell therapy.
ANEK [815]

Researchers may be able to induce adult cells to behave like embryonic stem cells an important advance in stem cell therapy.

Embryonic stem cells :

Embryonic stem cells  are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4th to 7th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic development, they disappear after the 7th day, and begin to form the three embryonic tissue layers.

How embryonic stem cells are obtained?

Stem cells are now being collected from human embryos. In most cases, the embryos that are used have been aborted or left over from in vitro fertilization procedures. Although not technically feasible at this time, researchers expect that it is possible to clone stem cells from a patient's own somatic cells.

Cell therapy :

Cellular therapy (CT) is the transplantation of human cells to replace or repair damaged tissue and/or cells. With new technologies, innovative products, and limitless imagination, many different types of cells may be used as part of a therapy or treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions.
