Which of the following bacterial cells would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic?

Biology

Answer:

c. A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic

Explanation:

If the bacteria lacks the receptors on its surface meant for that antibiotic then it will be best defense for the survival of that bacteria. It is receptors which interact with the antibiotic so as to permit it inside the cell. Therefore, in the absence of receptors, it doesn't matter how much antibiotic is lying in the external environment of that bacteria, the antibiotic will not be able to enter the bacterial cell to kill it. Hence, the bacteria will be able to survive easily.

Answer:

The correct answer is option c."A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic".

Explanation:

There are different mechanisms by which bacteria can get antibiotic resistance. One common mechanism is that the bacteria changes the site or changes the receptor that is recognized by the antibiotic to work. Taking into account this adaptation, a bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for the antibiotic from the beginning would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic.

1. Explain how dehydration synthesis and<br> hydrolysis are related.
PolarNik [594]

<em>Answer: In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer.</em>

A gene has 2 alleles, R &amp; B, List the possible genotypes? I also need help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8 please help! Pls loo
irakobra [83]

Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30
