Herbivory is the interaction in which an animal consumes plants. It can also be applicable to other autotrophs such as algae and photosynthesizing bacteria. Herbivores are also called primary consumers. These animals have wide flat teeth that are adapted to eating tough plant materials such as grasses and tree barks.

Which disappears more rapidly from a population, a deleterious dominant allele or a deleterious recessive allele?

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Selection is a directional process that leads to an increase or a decrease in the frequency of genes or genotypes. Selection is the process that increases the frequencies of plant resistance alleles in natural ecosystems through coevolution, and it is the process that increases the frequencies of virulence alleles in agricultural ecosystems during boom and bust cycles.

Selection occurs in response to a specific environmental factor. It is a central topic of population and evolutionary biology. The consequence of natural selection on the genetic structure and evolution of organisms is complicated. Natural selection can decrease the genetic variation in populations of organisms by selecting for or against a specific gene or gene combination (leading to directional selection). It can increase the genetic variation in populations by selecting for or against several genes or gene combinations (leading to disruptive selection or balancing selection). Natural selection might lead to speciation through the accumulation of adaptive genetic differences among reproductively isolated populations. Selection can also prevent speciation by homogenizing the population genetic structure across all locations.

Selection in plant pathology is mainly considered in the framework of gene-for-gene coevolution. Plant pathologists often think in terms of Van der Plank and his concept of "stabilizing selection" that would operate against pathogen strains with unnecessary virulence. As we will see shortly, Van der Plank used the wrong term, as he was actually referring to directional selection against unneeded virulence alleles.

Which drug is a treatment for a bacterial infection, such as strep throat?

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a drug called an antibiotic

Explanation:

A drug called antibiotics is a treatment used for a bacterial infection such as strep throat.

Antibiotics are medicines that are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections.

These drugs destroys bacteria by preventing them from replicating and reproducing their copies. This way the strain is unable to continue one of its essential life function.

These substances are active against bacteria and provides a toxic condition for them to replicate.
