Biology
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]2 years ago
3 0
The best description would be; Vancomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis promoting bacterial lysis.  Vancomycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat quite a number of bacterial infections. It inhibits cell wall synthesis and promotes bacterial lysis and the death of the bacteria. It does not contain a beta lactam ring, therefore an effective serum trough level is 10 mcg/mL to 20 mcg/mL depending on the severity of the infection and renal function. The drug is an alternative to use in patients allergic to beta-lactam antibiotics.

A trait has two alleles, p and q. If 20% of the alleles in a population are type p, what percent are type q? (enter number only,
Scorpion4ik [409]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

q = 80 percent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

If a trait has two alleles, p and q, and p is 20% then we can find the percent of q.

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium;

p+q = 1

Therefore;

q = 1 - p

but; p = 20% or 0.2

Thus; q = 1 - 0.2

             = 0.8

The percent of q is 80%
