A scientist engineers a virus that contains the gene thought to provide bacterial resistance to the antibiotic vancomycin. The s

cientist then takes a culture of bacteria and divides it in two. One portion is allowed to incubate with the previously mentioned virus, while the other is not. Both bacterial cultures are then placed onto petri plates whose media contain vancomycin. Only the culture grown previously with viruses shows growth of bacterial colonies. How did these bacteria FIRST come to have resistance to this antibiotic? Selected Answer: Transformation Bifurcation Transduction Transformation Conjugation

Answer:

Transduction

Explanation:

Bacteriophages (or phages) are viruses known for its ability to contaminate and become a parasite in a bacteria. These phages can pass its DNA from a single bacterium to another bacterium, via a means referred to as genetic transduction.

This is believed to be the centre route through which bacteria evolve and possess the antibiotic resistance and virulence factors that increases the formation of new and an increasingly more pathogenic strains.

The mechanisms of genetic transduction includes generalized and specialized transduction.

Muscles help keep blood flowing normally through the body. How do muscles accomplish this task?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Option A, by having a constant supply of blood

Explanation:

Blood that flows to the muscles bring oxygen from the atmosphere to the contracting muscles where it gets consumed.  During large muscle exercise, two physiological needs arise – a) high and prolonged muscle blood flow and b) regulation of blood pressure so that there is adequate perfusion of pressure to all organs. In order to meet both the requirements, the blood flow increases so that the vasoligating muscles do not outstrip the cardiac output.

Hence, option A is correct

What does finny insist must have made gene bounce the branch that day?
Alecsey [184]
The answer is blind impulse. This means the sudden and uncountable desire to do something. In the novel, Finny and gene have been each other's double from the beginning of the novel. Gene says to Finny the he would never have been good in the war, since he would have been willing to play basket ball with the foe instead of fighting.  This brought Finny in to tears, and asks if Gene's part in the fall was just "blind impulse" and not a deliberate expression of hate.
