Answer:

Streptococcus

Explanation:

Coccus (plural cocci) bacteria are those that are oval or spherical in shape when viewed under a microscope. Coccus bacteria end up forming different shapes when they reproduce or multiply.

When they grow in clusters, they are referred to as Staphylococci, when in chains, they are streptococci and when they are arranged in pairs, they are diplococci. Enterococci are arranged in short chains or in pairs but usually gram positive in nature.

The correct option is streptococcus.

Answer:

<em>Streptococcus</em>

Explanation:

Bacteria can be grouped based on their physical characteristics. Cocci are spherical shaped bacteria, and based on their arrangement can be grouped as:

Diplococci: they appear in pairs

Streptococci: they appear in a chain

Staphylococci: they appear as a cluster (grape-like)

<em>Streptococcus </em>is a bacteria genus known to cause many types of diseases. They grow in pairs or chains.

Note that: staphylococci and streptococci are used denote to denote the arrangement of the cells, <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus </em>are bacteria genus. They are named so based on the shape and arrangement of their cells.

slit2 promotes angiogenic activity via the robo1-vegfr2-erk1/2 pathway in both in vivo and in vitro studies.
Scilla [17]

Slit2 overexpression promoted angiogenic effects in both a laser-induced CNV mouse model and HUVECs and promoted the biological activity of endothelial cells.

  • Recent research has provided novel but contrary insight into the function of Slit2-Robo signaling in angiogenesis.
  • Although the role of Robo in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) has been studied, the effect of its ligand, Slit2, on CNV development is unclear.
  • Laser-induced CNV in Slit2 transgenic and wild-type mice was used to study the effects of endogenous Slit2 on angiogenesis in vivo.
  • Fluorescein angiography was performed to evaluate the leakage area of each lesion.
  • Plasmid-based gene transfer technology was used to increase Slit2 expression and to study its effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro.
  • Laser treatment led to more CNV and vascular leakage in Slit2 transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice.

What is density independent and dependent?
myrzilka [38]
Density-dependent limiting factors cause a population's per capita growth rate to change—typically, to drop—with increasing population density. ... Density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density. Examples include natural disasters like forest fires.

As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, and viral infections are caused by viruses. Perhaps the most important distinction between bacteria and viruses is that antibiotic drugs usually kill bacteria, but they aren't effective against viruses.
