Predict how an unusually prolonged drought might affect a biological community

Biology
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
6 0

Primary consumers (such as grazers and browsers) of the biological community will put pressure on the primary producers (these are plants) since the primary producers have limited resources (water) to reproduce due to the drought. The primary producers hence become scarce and cause the primary consumers to compete for limited resources. This causes the primary producers to reduce in population. Reduction in their population causes limited resources for secondary consumers and this cascades up the food web to tertiary consumers.

Antibiotic resistance evolved in a population of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Select the
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance can evolved in bacterial population in the following ways:

Explanation:

  • In response to constant exposure to antibiotics some members of a bacterial population develop some beneficial mutations in some essential genes that gives them survival advantage in terms of food and space over the sensitive bacterial strains and hence they are capable of out-competing the sensitive bacteria.
  • This happens due to the process of Natural Selection.
  • These genes are called antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria usually carry them on plasmids in form of cassettes where genes resistant to multiple drugs are incorporated. These plasmids are called the MDR or Multi-Drug Resistance Plasmids.
  • These resistant plasmids can be easily transferred among bacterial populations by conjugation, transformation or transduction or direct plasmid transfer.
  • The resistant genes encode for proteins that render the drug ineffective by promoting their efflux from the cells, preventing their entry into the cell, chemically modifying them such that they become non-functional or altering the target site of the drug.

What is the principle for dating materials using radioactive isotopes
nevsk [136]

It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.

<h3>How are isotopes used in radioactive dating?</h3>

These isotopes decay within the rocks according to their half-life rates, and by choosing the fit minerals and measuring the relative amounts of parent and daughter isotopes in them, the date at which the rock crystallized can be determined.

Thus, It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope.
