Biology
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.

1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.

2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.

3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.

4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.

Correct answer: C). Cells are the basic building blocks of life but do not constitute life itself

Cell theory in a biology is a scientific theory, which is universally accepted and it states that all living organism are made up of one or more cells, cell is the building block of living thing, it also states that all cell arise from ore existing cells.

The cell theory is collection of ideas and conclusion, which were given after many years of continuous research and experiment of many scientist, which tells about the cell and how it operates.

he burrowing owl is found in dry, open areas such as grasslands, prairies, savannas, deserts, farmlands, golf courses, and other
Arturiano [62]

Hey there!

A Burrowing owl's habitat is destroyed which is due to human activities and will come under Artificial destruction via human influence and not due to a natural destruction like cyclones, High Richter scale earthquakes, hurricanes with extremely high knot speeds, etc. Instead I'll say because of which the population of the burrowing owl will obviously decrease because they're more adapted to "their previous environment" and most likely "wouldn't adapt to a new unfamiliar environment".

To break these contradictions down simply said "they're unaware of the rules, regulations, type of soil, type of trophic levels, number of predatory organisms, etc. this makes it pretty hard to move from their once said naturally provided nature-made habitat to the burrowing owl, which got lost due to habitat annihilation by human cause. Further making the owls to adapt and change their "NATURAL TRAITS" to make it "CUSTOM" because of which these aren't going to help them instead they'd go either extinct by moving to a newly known unfamiliar habitat rather than their naturally nature gifted habitation.

So Yeah, the correct option [after the question mark ends] to be the least likely outcome would've been  "the population of species of burrowing owl maybe increase as per arriving in a new habitat or introduced to newly made surroundings". This is "Highly and the most unlikely" or the "least likely predictable outcome" for burrowing owls. Introduction of species to newer habitats without any prior training, kills the species and it's progenies.

Hope this helps  you and gives you the detailed analysis for this query for burrowing owls!!!!

Why did Mendel want to control the pollination of his pea<br> plants?
Viefleur [7K]

Mendel wants to control the pollination of his pea plants because traits were not blended but they remain separate in the subsequent generations and also it is contrary to scientific opinion during his time

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly, he wants to control because they were against the scientific opinion during his time.
  • Mendel takes a pea plant for his experiment because it can be easily observable.
  • Pea plant has seven traits and it can be pollinated by both the ways. One is self-pollination and the other is cross-pollination.
  • Mendel did not know about the genes but he speculates the factors of formation in the traits.
  • Mendel produces three laws, the law of dominance, the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment.
