No, they would not prescribe antibiotics for you because antibiotics kill bacteria, but viral infections such as the flu are hosted by viruses rather than bacteria.

Answer  

The doctor would not prescribe antibiotics to treat viral infections such as flu.

Usually, infections like flu are treated with bed rest and lots of fluid intakes.

It helps the immune system of the body to fight against a viral infection.

In addition, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines are suggested to take in case of pain and inflammations.

In some cases, antiviral drugs such as peramivir (Rapivab), oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza)

et cetera are prescribed for the treatment.

In contrast, antibiotics are mainly used to treat bacterial infections instead of viral infections.

Nookie1986 [14]

It will have no effect because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

<h3>Effect occurs on mass</h3>

The order in which we add the ingredients do not affect the mass of the batter because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

The mass of the batter remains the same due to the incorporation of same quantity of ingredients so we can conclude that option A is the right answer for this question.

(70pts) Recall the story of Three Blind Mice where the farmer’s wife cuts off the mouse tails with a carving knife. Because of t
omeli [17]

Answer:

What will happen to the population of mice that it will keep growing at a tremendous rate without a fear of being caught by a predatory. This will increase the population curve of mice but will decrease the population curve of the cat at similar speed.

What else can happen is that cats will no longer be depending on Mice for their food and they will be finding some alternate food host.

What else can happen is the trait of tailless cannot  be favored by environment as proposed by Lamarack in his theory of evolution that if organism acquires some favorable trait during his life then it is possible that he will pass this trait to offspring. Though this trait is not naturally induced therefore,  there are no chances that tailless mice can born and nature choose it as a favorable trait.

In 1880 August weismenn did experiment of similar nature, he cut off the tails of 20 successive generations of mice abut not a single tailless mouse was born. Therefore, he proved that until nature selects some traits, they are not that easily passed from one generation to another if induced by human.

Conclusion: <em>Therefore, after 50 generation mice will be just like parent mice with tails however they will have good population and less predators.</em>
