Answer:

Neutrophils

Explanation:

In this case of a ruptured appendix and peritontis, the neutrophils are more likely to be elevated above normal value because:

1. They are the most abundant white blood cells (WBCs), about 60%-70% of the total white blood cell count.

2. they help to defend the body against fungal and bacterial infections and heal tissues that are damaged. The most likely infection to occur from a ruptured appendix is a bacterial infection.

Other WBCs like eosinophil is involved in parasitic infection; basophil is involved in allergic reaction; while monocyte is involved in phagocytosis.

An antibiotic was effective 20 years ago against a specific type of a specific type of bacterial infection no longer works again
Sliva [168]

c. Resistant bacteria have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than nonresistant bacteria

Explanation:

The antibiotic is no longer effective as it was 20 years ago because the resistant bacterial have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than the non-resistant bacteria.

  • The antibiotics have specifically designed to exterminate the disease causing bacteria strain from the body.
  • While at that point in time, it is potent and does the work. Along the line, it will cause the structures of some other strains to change.
  • This will lead to the development of resistant breeds with time.
  • The resistant breed will then be able to survive the onslaught of the antibiotics making it not a good fit.

Give SOME EXAMPLES OF NATURAL CYCLE CHECKPOINTS .
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

For example, delays in mitosis are often ascribed to 'activation' of the mitotic checkpoint, a descriptor that fails to recognize that the checkpoint by definition is active as the cell starts mitosis. Conversely, the completion of mitosis in the presence of misaligned chromosomes is often automatically interpreted to indicate a defective checkpoint, even though in the absence of critical testing alternative interpretations are equally likely. In this article, we define the critical characteristics of checkpoints and illustrate how confusion generated by the inconsistent use of terminology may impede progress by fostering claims that mean very different things to different researchers. We will illustrate our points with examples from the checkpoint that controls progression through mitosis
