Biology

Kaylis [27]3 years ago

Answer: C. When they mixed, some of the bacteria from strain X obtained plasmids from strain Y, these plasmids gave them DNA that allowed  them to resist the antibiotic.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a mode of sexual reproduction used by some strains of bacteria to reproduce. In this the bacteria transfers the genetic material to another bacteria through direct contact. In this one bacteria act as a donor and another one act as a recipient.

The strain X which was affected by the antibiotic might have mixed with the strain Y, as a result of this strain X being not resistant with the antibiotic died. But when this bacterial strain got mixed with the strain Y, which is antibiotic resistant. The strain X might received the antibiotic resistant property from strain Y through sexual reproduction by the mode of conjugation. In this plasmid DNA transfer from strain Y to strain X, helped strain X to develop antibiotic resistance, and further helped strain X to survive.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Ecosystem stability is the ability of an ecosystem to maintain a steady state, even after a stress or disturbance has occurred. In order for an ecosystem to be considered stable, it needs to have mechanisms in place that help it return to its original state after a disturbance occurs.

Answer:

Limiting factors control the numbers of individuals in a population, sometimes maintain it at or near the carrying capacity. 4. Analyze the impact a nonnative species might have on a native species in terms of population dynamics. Nonnative species might out-compete the native species or might prey upon them.
