Answer:

Antibiotics are specially produced to attack the bacterial cells but not the healthy cells of the human body. The modern antibiotics target the bacteria causing infection in the body.These antibiotics are specific to bacteria as the proteins produced by the bacterial cell is different from the proteins produced by the human cell.

Most of the bacterial cell produces the cell wall that is made up of the macro molecule known as peptidoglycan. Human cells does not synthesis peptidoglycan.

In this way the antibiotics target specific kind of protein synthesized by bacterial cell only.

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
