Answer:

The correct answer is included in the Explanation section

Explanation:

An organism with considerable more chromosomes than humans: the plant <em>Ophioglossum reticulatum</em> with 1260 chromosomes.

An organism with considerable fewer chromosomes than humans: the ant <em>Myrmecia pilosula</em> with 1 chromosome.

It might be thought that the chromosome number of a species is directly related to its complexity, meaning that an organism with a large number of chromosomes is more complex than an organism with a small number. However, this is not true. Chromosomes are structures of coiled DNA, and its number indicate how the cells wrapp their genomic material when they reproduce. The number of chromosomes is not related to the organism complexity, but rather the number of genes and their function.

After taking antibiotics for several weeks, a patient develops a severe bacterial infection in his intestines. The doctor claims
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Before the antibiotic, the ‘good’ bacteria had colonized her intestines and formed colonies that made up her biome. These colonies out-compete other bacteria, including ‘bad’ bacteria that tried to grow in the intestines hence protecting her intestines from infection.

However, the antibiotics wiped out the established colonies of ‘good’ bacteria –destroying her biome- and gave room for recolonization of the intestines by bacteria. The secondary succession gave a chance for the ‘bad’ bacteria to also thrive and cause her massive infections.
