<h2>Resistance to antibiotics </h2>

Explanation:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms usually found all over the inside and outside of our bodies

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections,the bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm
There are two main ways that bacterial cells can acquire antibiotic resistance,one is through mutations that occur in the DNA of the cell during replication and the other way that bacteria acquire resistance is through horizontal gene transfer
Through the process of replication bacteria develop mutations that make them resistant to antibiotics
Bacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibiotics
Resistant bacteria continue to multiply even when exposed to antibiotics
In horizontal gene transfer,antibiotic resistant genetic material is transferred between different bacterial cells which can happen in three different ways: transformation,transduction or conjugation

jekas [21]

Coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.

<h3>How coyote population changed?</h3>

The modern Northeast (Maryland) coyote population changed from the historic (North Dakota) population over the past 70 years due to climate change as well as change that occurs in their genes. Climate change is the major factor that is responsible for change in coyote population.

So we can conclude that coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.

These two cells have several features in common. They also differ in several ways. The two cells share all but one feature liste

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) enclosed in a protein capsule

Almost all living cells contain DNA as their genetic material. DNA control and coordinates the function of the cell. The two cells also must contain the DNA.

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions by which the cell generates ATP or energy. All the living cells produce energy through cellular respiration, however, they may utilize the aerobic or anaerobic form of respiration.

A ribosome is found in all the living cells including animal cells, plants, bacteria et cetera. They form the site for protein synthesis in all the cells.

The protein capsule is not a universal feature of all living cells. Thus, it may be present in one cell type and absent in another cell type.

Answer:

The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.

Explanation:

During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.
