In a human, only the β cells of the pancreas make insulin and only the chief cells of the stomach make pepsinogen (an inactive f

orm of the main digestive enzyme pepsin). This is most likely because:
a. Only the DNA of β cells contains the gene for insulin; only the DNA of chief cells contains the gene for pepsinogen
b. A different combination of control elements is found within enhancers associated with the insulin vs. pepsinogen genes
c. β cells and chief cells will synthesize the combination of activator proteins specific for the enhancers of the insulin and pepsinogen genes, respectively

Answer:

a. Only the DNA of β cells contains the gene for insulin; only the DNA of chief cells contains the gene for pepsinogen

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, insulin production is exclusive to β cells in the pancreas. This is because only these cells have a gene that manages the production and excretion of insulin within an organism. Similarly, only the main cells of the stomach have the capacity to produce pepsinogen, which indicates that the gene responsible for managing this production is unique to these cells.

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply
Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

  1. Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
  2. Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of  para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
