PLEASE ANSWER.   E. coli is a species of bacteria that causes many different infections in humans. Certain E. coli strains have

developed resistance to antibiotics, making infections with these strains difficult to treat. How do bacteria such as E. coli, which reproduce asexually, gain new traits such as antibiotic resistance?
A.

by undergoing spontaneous mutations when they replicate, which increases genetic variation in a population

B.

by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits

C.

by adapting to changes in environmental conditions without undergoing changes in their DNA

D.

by producing offspring with new gene assortments from genetic recombination, which increases diversity in a population

Answer: The correct answer is-

B.  by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria means the bacteria is not susceptible to the antibiotic that is the effectiveness of antibiotic against the bacteria is eliminated or reduced.

It occurs when bacteria undergoes mutation that is alteration in the genetic material ( for instance, in one mechanism of resistance, mutation changes the protein that was earlier target for the antibiotic).

Therefore, by mutating the DNA in response to environmental condition ( such as exposure to antibiotic in this condition), bacteria gains beneficial characters and become resistant.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Identify the immediate two levels of organization that significantly controls the function of a cell. __________
enyata [817]

Answer: there are 5 different levels of organization: cells, tissue, organs, organ systems, and organisms. All living things in the world are made up of cells. Thus, cells are grouped into tissues, so groups of tissues make up organs, and organs with a similar function are grouped into an organ system.

What does science study? What does it not study?
Ber [7]
<span><span>As for the responder, science study as much as it can process. Though there are certain principles, theories and laws needed to determine one is truly science. It needs to undergo the scientific method to analyze and gather evidential data and in addition this study should be replicable in the process. Replicable is one strong characteristic of a study that can intensify the reliability and validity of the field. And what science doesn’t study is not until the principles apply to the aforementioned statement. Science can study and wants to understand everything or in as much as the broader scope of each phenomenon, it’s some concepts that are just very hard to gather data, and studies like the metaphysical and paranormal that can’t be repeated. These limitations inhibit scientists to draw data that is reliable and valid, thus, science.  </span> </span>
