Why does horizontal transmission potentially make the problem of antibiotic resistance worse?

Biology
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
6 0
There are two main mechanisms in which bacteria receive extracellular genes. ... Horizontal gene transfer contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance through the exchange of genetic material across genera, which increases the potential for a harmful, antibiotic resistant bacteria to develop.

How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
rusak2 [61]
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:

- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie           together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together

I hope this helps

What is speciation?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

speciation is when one species splits off into multiple species.

In-depth answer:

Speciation can happen in 4 different ways, the first being Allopatric Speciation, where 2 groups of the same species are physically separated for extended periods of time, and when they're re-introduced, they don't breed.

Sympatric Speciation is when 2 groups of the same species aren't seperated, but form different behaviors that isolate them reproductively (the groups wont inter-breed)

Parapatric Speciation is when 2 groups of the same species are suddenly placed into a new environmental niche, and adapt in different ways to fill that niche.

Quantum Speciation is much less recognized, but it's when a new species rapidly evolves and 'buds off' from the original group

Why must the formulas of hydrates have the number of water molecules as whole number integers?
Sphinxa [80]

The formula for hydrate indicates the number of water molecules that are attached to each formula unit of the compound. Forexample, nickel (II) sulfate hexahydrate is a green/blue solid that has six water molecules included in the crystal foreach Ni2+and each SO42-ion.Many common minerals are

<h3>What is a hydrate ?</h3>

Any compound containing water in the form of H2O molecules, usually, but not always, with a definite content of water by weight.

  • The best-known hydrates are crystalline solids that lose their fundamental structures upon removal of the bound water.

  • Hydrates are formed when water and light end natural gases come into contact at certain temperature and pressure conditions
