When a bacterial infection is treated with an antibiotic, the hope is that the antibiotic will kill all of the bacteria and prev

ent them from reproducing. However, if the full prescription of antibiotics is not taken by the sick person, some of the more resistant bacteria can survive. When they reproduce, these bacteria can pass the genes responsible for their resistance on to their offspring. As a result, subsequent administration of the same antibiotic will be less and less effective over time.

The answer is true When a bacterial infection isn't treated fully then it would become harder to treat

This is natural selection. If a random mutation/variation occurs and a bacteria is now resistant to antibiotics, then this is a favorable gene that promotes survival in its environment. This gene will be passed on to offspring through mitosis/binary fission or even conjugation and those bacteria will also be resistant. Eventually all non resistant bacteria will be gone or their numbers will be greatly reduced and only resistant bacteria will survive to reproduce.

Which condition is a cause of impotency in men
daser333 [38]
<span>Atherosclerosis is a common cause, because there is a lack of blood flow in the person's body, and this can cause a male to be impotent. 

Diabetes is also a common cause because once again it causes less blood flow. 

In a younger man, a cause could be anxiety. This is because nervousness and being anxious can lessen blood flow.

If you have choices, I suggest choosing one that has to do with less blood flow happening, which that is the main cause.

I hope that this could possibly help you with your studies, and have an amazing day. If you have any more questions, send me a pm. </span>

Which of the following will lead to speciation? Select one of the options below as your answer. A. Variation in gene pool B. Lac
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>The answer is A. Variation in gene pool
Speciation is a formation of a new species during the evolution line. When there is a variation in a gene pool, a unique combination between genes could be formed during the mating process. This will create an offspring with unique gene pool that will lead to speciation</span>

Which organelle is responsible for wilting?
makkiz [27]

Vacuole is the answer.

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls. 

The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.

When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.

In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced  compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
