I’m sure it is D I just took the test
The bacteria which had mutation became resistant to the antibiotic and survived and keeps on increasing, promoting natural selection.
Explanation:
The bacteria rapidly divide, the chances of mutation in the gene increases manifold.
The strains of bacteria causing tuberculosis and staph infection got mutated at DNA level such that they became resistant to antibiotics when tested those susceptible did not survive. These mutations were not harmful to bacteria and the resultant bacteria survived.
These bacteria which survived and proliferated as the environment was in their favour.
Thus, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is acceptable here as it says if a mutation is occurring towards the increase in population, they will be selected ones.
There are 56 neutrons. To find them, you just have to subtract the atomic number with the atomic mass. If you dont know, the atomic number is the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom. The atomic mass is the number of both the protons and neutrons. Of you subtract the atomic number, you get protons.
Answer:
The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"
Explanation:
- Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
- Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
- Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
- Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.
