<u>ANSWER:</u>

Diffusion is used by bacteria to transfer antibiotic resistance genes to other cells.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • When bacteria becomes resistant to antibodies, it loses the ability to be inhibited.
  • Diffusion in such case is used by bacteria to transfer the antibiotic genes to another species. This is because bacteria has the ability to replicate and transfer resistance by engulfing DNA from neighboring cells.
  • Bacteria has the ability to take naked DNA encoding from similar species for the purpose of resistance and diffusion is the process that makes it possible.

What effect does malnutrition during critical times of development in pregnancy have on the fetus?
Naya [18.7K]
The effect that malnutrition have on the fetus during critical development in pregnancy is that the impairment  of the development of an organ is irreversible. Maternal malnutrition can adversely affect the division and replication of cells in the embryo at this stage, impairing its development. The effects of malnutrition during critical periods of pregnancy are seen in defects of the nervous system of the embryo, poor dental health among other effects.

The main characteristics of an index fossil include :

1.It must be distinctive.

2.It must be widespread.

3. It must be abundant

Which of the statement(s) is (are) not right __________. a. mRNA: contains protein-building instruction b. tRNA: deliver free am
Alina [70]

Hi there!

We can go through the overall function of all three of these:

mRNA: transcribed from the DNA, has the protein's composition written in it, and brings that to a ribosome where the protein will be made

tRNA: looks at the codons (set of 3 nucleotides) on the mRNA and brings amino acids which match up to that codon

rRNA: significant part of the composition of ribosomes

Now, looking at these, and back to the answer choices, we can already see that a, b, and c are correct. d, on the other hand, is incorrect.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this specific problem.

The thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius lacks peptidoglycan, but still possesses a cell wall. Which of the following stat
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

c and d

Explanation:

<u>A species of an organism with cell wall that lacks peptidoglycan is definitely not a bacterium because bacterial cell walls usually have peptidoglycan.</u>

One particular group of organisms whose cells have cell walls but lack peptidoglycan is Archaea.

<em>Archaea represents a group of prokaryotes that are able to survive in extreme conditions such as high temperature, pressure and salinity. As such, they could inhabit hydrothermal springs as well as alkaline hot springs.</em>

Hence, thermoacidophile <em>Sulfolobus acidocaldarius </em>is likely to be an Archaea and could inhabit both hydrothermal springs and alkaline hot springs.

The correct option is option c and d.
