E. coli is a species of bacteria that causes many different infections in humans. Certain E. coli strains have developed resista

nce to antibiotics, making infections with these strains difficult to treat. How do bacteria such as E. coli, which reproduce asexually, gain new traits such as antibiotic resistance?
A. by adapting to changes in environmental conditions without undergoing changes in their DNA
B. by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits
C. by producing offspring with new gene assortments from genetic recombination, which increases diversity in a population
D. by undergoing spontaneous mutations when they replicate, which increases genetic variation in a population

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria develops in response to the environment in which the bacteria survives.  

The antimicrobial resistance trait is acquired by any species of bacteria through one of the two ways that are either by making changes in their DNA sequences or through horizontal gene transfer mechanisms.

In the given E. coli gained the trait to develop resistance against antibiotic by making changes in their DNA as once the gene is altered or mutated, the trait can be passed on to the offsprings.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Explain the process that takes place in the stroma including and reactants going in nd the products produced from these processe
nikklg [1K]
During the method of photosynthesis, daylight is employed to convert water and dioxide into aldohexose and gas. light-weight reactions convert the energy in daylight into the energy of ATP and NADPH.

a) In the bright daylight, the Calvin cycle happens within the stroma. throughout the Calvin cycle, the products ATP and NADPH are accustomed convert molecules of carbonic acid gas into high-energy sugars.

b)In the darkness, the Calvin cycle conjointly happens within the stroma. throughout the Calvin cycle, the products ATP and NADPH are used to convert molecules of CO2 into high-energy sugars.

c) <span>There will be a decrease </span>in the products ATP<span> and NADPH if the plants </span>are unbroken within the<span> dark for </span>a protracted<span> time </span>and also the<span> Calvin cycle </span>can't be continued.<span />
