The antibiotic penicillin is isolated from <u><em>Penicillium notatum</em></u> fungi

Penicillin was first discovered in 1928 and was used at St. Mary's Hospital, London, by Alexander Fleming to heal wounds due to its antibacterial properties.

Explanation:

Fungi and bacteria usually produce antibiotics (as secondary metabolites) for defense mechanism. They do so to limit competition for resources with other neighboring fungi or bacteria in their environment.  This is why when a fungus or bacteria establishes itself in an environment, you hardly see other fungi or bacteria types growing in their vicinity.

HELP PLEASE<br> Why do you think genetic diversity is an advantage of sexually reproduction?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Genetic diversity is an advantage of sexual reproduction because it reduces the occurrence of unfavorable genetic traits and a variety of genes would lessen the chance of the extinction of a population due to environmental changes. The variation between a genetically diverse species will guarantee at least some of it survive when presented with different climates or challenges.
