Biology

Dominik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

An antimicrobial agent is a natural or synthetic chemical that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Bacteria have a mechanism of transferring genomic material called <em>horizontal gene transfer</em><em>, the movement of genes between cells that are not direct descendants of one another</em>. Horizontal gene transfer allows cells to quickly acquire new characteristics and drives metabolic diversity. <u>One of the characteristics usually acquired is the resistance to antibiotics</u>.

Three mechanisms of genetic exchange are known in prokaryotes:

(1) transformation, in which free DNA released from one cell is taken up by another; (2) transduction, in which DNA transfer is mediated by a virus; and (3) conjugation, in which DNA transfer requires cell-to-cell contact and a conjugative plasmid in the donor cell.

Examples of genes transferred by transducing bacteriophages include multiple antibiotic resistance genes among strains of <em>Salmonella enterica </em>serovar <em>Typhimurium</em>, Shiga-like toxin genes in <em>Escherichia coli</em>, virulence factors in <em>Vibrio cholerae</em>, and genes encoding photosynthetic proteins in cyanobacteria.

Conjugative plasmids use a mechanism to transfer copies of themselves and the genes they encode, such as those for antibiotic resistance, to new host cells.

Which of the following is NOT true regarding the sounds associated with the heart? Select one: a. The "lub-dub" sound originates
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B) The "lub-dub" sound originates from blood turbulence through the heart.

Explanation:

The systole and diastole in the heart produce the lub and dub sound in the heart.

The systole represents the contraction of both left and right ventricles and pumps the blood to the body and the right ventricle to the lungs. This involves the opening and closing of the valves. The closing of the atrioventricular valves produces lub sound.

At the end of the systole or ventricular contraction or when the blood has been pumped to the aorta and the pulmonary valves then the semilunar valves present in the aorta and pulmonary closes. This produces a sound dub.

Therefore,lub dub is associated with the physical contraction of the heart but not the turbulence of the blood.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
