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.

When does mRNA editing take place?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

After transcription, some RNA molecules are altered to contain bases not encoded in the genome. Most often this involves the editing or modification of one base to another, but in some organisms can involve the insertion or deletion of a base. Such editing events alter the coding properties of mRNA.

charle [14.2K]

A cladogram is similar to Family Tree

Explanation:

A cladogram and a family tree both show relationships between common ancestors. It shows the relationship the organism but it is not same as evolutionary or family tree because it doesn’t show the relationship with ancestor to their descendent and also it doesn’t show how they changed.

Cladogram is type of diagram based result analysis. Clade is group of organism with their last similar ancestor. A cladogram is represented through lines.

Many signaling pathways have multiple transducer proteins, for example in a multi-enzyme phosphorylation cascade - one of the pu

zimovet [89]

Answer:

b. to amplify the signal

Explanation:

A multi-enzyme phosphorylation cascade is a series of signaling events where one enzyme phosphorylates to another, then this last enzyme acts to phosphorylate another protein and so successively, thereby triggering a chain reaction that leads to the phosphorylation of hundreds or even thousands of proteins. A multi-enzyme phosphorylation cascade is known to increase the number of activated (phosphorylated) proteins at each step of the signaling cascade. Phosphorylation is a posttranslational modification capable of activating proteins during long periods, thereby a phosphorylation cascade also enables the activation of multiple proteins before these proteins become inactive again.
