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.

Explain how mitotic recombination leads to the mosaic condition termed twin spots.
postnew [5]

Answer:

If an individual Drosophila has two or more populations of cells comprising different genotypes from one single egg then it is termed as twin spots or mosaic.

Explanation:

There might be different reasons for mosaic to occur like

Nondisjunctioning of the chromosomes

Lag in anaphase

Endoreplication

Mutations in a single cell

Mitotic recombination:

One of the major ways through which mosaic or twin spots arise is the mitotic recombination. It is also termed as somatic cross over. Twin spot or mosaic generally occurs if there is linking of heterozygous genes in repulsion. The recombination generally happens among the centromeres from the adjacent genes.

A common example of the mitotic recombination is the Bloom's syndrome. Bloom's syndrome is caused due to the mutation that occurs in the <em>blm</em> gene. As a result, there are defects in the BLM protein produced.

How can we bring back lost nutrient   in   the soil without direct application   of   fertilizer?​
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Crop rotation

Rotation of crop is important to help conserve nutrients that are available in the soil and prevent total use up of the nutrients. The same type of plants all year round on the same soil keeps on draining the land of the same nutrients needed for their growth. Rotation of different can help maintain soil nutrients level as some crop fixes nutrients in the soil.

Natural mulching

The use of cover cops as mulch helps protect the soil and allows for retention of nutrients. When cover crops are harvested the leaves can be turned back into soil to release nutrients that are stored up in the plant part.

Composting is the process of decomposing organic matter this could include animal waste such as dung,leaves both green and dead, kitchen. This waste are stored up, little water is added to moist and then allow to decompose it can be mixed together after few days to aerate after. After decomposing to form compost it can be added to the soil. It is usually rich in nutrients.
