Answer:

According to the information sought, the option of tetracyclines would be, since the treatments with chlamydias are treated with this type of drug, if said bacterium alters the 30S subunit then the union with these drugs will be affected and therefore they will have less efficacy.

Explanation:

Mechanism of tetracyclines: they bind to the 16s rRNA of the 30S subunit of the ribosome and cause concentration-dependent effects on protein synthesis

Explain why crops in the arctic grow larger than normal during the summer months
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

More sunlight, more photosynthesis

Explanation:

This is because when the sunlight hits the leaves, it allows photosynthesis to occur. But when you have extended periods of sunlight, like summer, it causes photosynthesis to continue for a longer time, which causes rapid energy storage. This makes excess food for the plant which gives the plant more energy for growth and pollination.

Hope this clears it up for ya:)

If red foxes were to go extinct, what would be the two most likely effects on the ecosystem
wel
Red foxes are omnivores. Their diet includes small animals such as  birds, squirrels, rabbits and mice, but also berries, grasses and insects such as crickets, caterpillars, grasshoppers and beetles. Red foxes are therefore primary as well as secondary consumers, and even apex predators. Their removal from an ecosystem would most likely reduce the predation pressure on small animals and insects, and may result in population explosions of these prey animals. This in turn may result in additional pressure on the ecosystem as these animals exceed the carrying capacity, and could lead to other plant and animal species within the food web being decimated. Basically, the balance of the ecosystem would be lost until a new equilibrium can be established.
