Conjugation is a very effective process for spreading antibiotic resistance among diverse bacterial populations such as those fo

und in the mammalian gut. Which statement best explains this observation?
A) Conjugative plasmids can be transferred to a bacteriophage.
B) Two different species of bacteria can share DNA, including antibiotic-resistance genes, during conjugation.
C) Conjugation is the only source of genetic variation in bacterial cells.
D) Conjugative plasmids cause a bacterial cell to reproduce more quickly, which increases the rate of evolution and the appearance of antibiotic resistance.

Answer:

B) Two different species of bacteria can share DNA, including antibiotic-resistance genes, during conjugation.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a process by which bacteria can exchange their genetic material between them. So through conjugation, the antibiotic-resistant gene coded by plasmid can be transferred through sex pilus to another bacteria.

So due to conjugation two different species of bacteria can share DNA which can include antibiotic-resistant genes. Therefore, through conjugation genetic variation and evolution are favored in bacteria. So due to this reason conjugation is a very important process in bacteria to spread antibiotic-resistant genes.

2.01 Properties of Water Lab Report
IrinaK [193]

Answer: The main properties of water are its polarity, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat, and evaporative cooling.

Water has the unique ability to dissolve many polar and ionic substances. This is important to all living things because, as water travels through the water cycle, it takes many valuable nutrients along with it! Water has high heat capacity.

The Objective of the experiment, the hypothesis, the variables Like Independent Variable, Dependent, Variable, Controlled Variable

Identify some beverages that are mixtures. Classify them as solutions, suspensions, or neither. Explain your classifications.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case we can for instance take into account the following mixtures:

- Orange juice.

- Tea.

- A soda.

- Salty water

- Coffee.

Thus, since the orange juice is a suspension as long as it contains different sizes of orange pulp particles that cannot be dissolved mostly because of its organic nature.

Tea can be a solution when we place a tea bag in a cup with warm water since just soluble components of tea are successfully dissolved in the water. Moreover, homemade tea based on some plants are fruits may behave as a suspension due to the oraginic particles that are not dissolved in the water yet suspended.

A soda is a solution of some water-soluble compounds, gaseous soluble carbon dioxide and water which are homogeneously distributed in the solution.

Salty water can be a solution if you put some salt in warm or just cold water and wait until it dissolves completely.

Coffee can be also a solution or suspension depending on how it is made, which type of coffee is used and the amount of coffee added to the hot water.

Best regards.
