While most bacteria are eliminated by antibiotics, some can possess mutations that are resistant to antibiotics, leading to more

Answer:

The trait must make the individual more fit to survive. True

Explanation:

Darwin proposed that genetic variations are present in natural populations. Some genetic traits become beneficial under the changed environmental conditions. The organisms with these genetic traits are able to survive and reproduce better than the organisms that lack them. This results in an increased proportion of the beneficial genetic traits in the population over generations as the individuals having those traits reproduce more.

The presence of antibiotic resistance is a beneficial genetic trait that allows bacteria to survive in the presence of antibiotics. Natural selection favors the bacterial having antibiotic resistance and increases their proportions in the population over generations.

In the treated sample, human glioblastoma (brain cancer) cells were grown in tissue culture in the presence of inhibitor-produci
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct option is C.  <u>The treated glioblastoma cells were cultured in the presence of an inhibitor from umbilical cord stem cells, but the control cells were cultured without the </u>

<u>inhibitor.</u>

Explanation:

Glioblastoma can be described as a kind of cancer or tumour of the brain. Astrocytes are the cells which cause this condition. Glioblastoma is one of the most deadliest kinds of cancer. As astrocytes have contact with numerous neurons from the body hence a cancer in these cells can be very toxic.

Scientists have been working hard to find a treatment for this type of cancer.

In the experiment described above, the scientists have found out that an inhibitor present in the umbilical cord cells can stop cancer cell proliferation. Hence, they have derived a test culture where the glioblastoma cells were treated with this inhibitor molecule. The control group glioblastoma cells were not treated with this inhibitor.
