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.

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.

<h3>The atmosphere is the superhighway in the sky that moves water everywhere over the Earth. Water at the Earth's surface evaporates into water vapor which rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.</h3>

How many chromosomes does a child inherit from his or her parents
pochemuha

Ans.

In humans, there are total of 46 chromosomes in each cell that show 23 pairs of chromosome. During reproduction, meiosis occurs in germ cells that leads to formation of daughter cells or gametes that contain half of the chromosomes as present in parent cells. Thus, each gamete (either male or female) contains 23 chromosome.

During fertilization, fusion of male gamete or sperm(with 23 chromosomes) and female gamete or ovum(with 23 chromosomes) to form zygote that develops into multi-cellular offspring with 46 chromosomes.

Thus, 'a child inherit 46 chromosomes from his or her parent (23 chromosomes from each parent).'

The process of meiosis results in daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. What is the cause of this
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D. Crossing over and independent assortment are the causes of genetic variation.

Explanation:

In the process of meiosis, crossing over is a phenomenon through which exchange of genetic segments takes place among the homologous chromosomes.

The process of independent assortment describes how different genes assort differently during meiosis.

Both the process of crossing over and independent assortment are the basis of the genetic variations seen in the world.
