How does the growth of antibiotic resistance in bacteria support the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Nana76 [90]4 years ago

Wow that's a good one :). Think about it like this. When you put antibiotics in place where bacterias live, probably most of them will die, however there might be "some" who are resistent to the antibiotic by their nature, (mutations etc.) so among the bacterias which were exposed the antibiotics those resistent ones will survive. And bacterias have a system for exchanging DNA to make each other more resistant, its called "conjugation" look it up. By conjugation they give each other genes which will help them survive. So if we summarize, those who are already resistant survive (which is a cause of natural selection in an environment of antibiotics) and help others resistant too.

If you are testing traits for Mendelian inheritance, how do you calculate the EXPECTED values?
Georgia [21]

n a cross between two heterozygous individuals, the offspring would be expected to show a 3 : 1 ratio. For example, in Case 1, three-fourths of the individuals would have red (wild-type) eyes, and one-fourth would have sepia eyes.

If there are 44 offspring, how many are expected to have red eyes?

We expect three-fourths to have red eyes.
<span>34</span> of 44 = 33

If there are 44 offspring, how many are expected to have sepia eyes?
<span>14</span> of 44 = 11

Now you are ready to calculate chi-square.

Importance of channel proteins and carrier proteins
NISA [10]
Channel protein is important because it is embedded in the membrane and it also covers the membrane. This is important because the channel must transport the micromolecules and ions in and out of the cell. Carrier proteins are important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.

Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic
lorasvet [3.4K]
Some scientists hypothesize that the eukaryotic cells are really the result of symbiotic processes!

Specifically, the internal organs of the cells could be a remnant of a symbiotic relationship in which one cell lived inside of another cell. These two cells then both split upon reproduction and eventually the cell inside was reduced to an organelle.

But according to this theory, it is very likely that the prokaryotic cells engaged in a number of symbiotic relationship, and that this actually lead to the emergence of eukaryotic cells!
