Bacteria collected from a severely inflamed wound are sent to the lab for analysis. The results come back as follows: Gram-posit

ive cocci in irregular clusters, kinase and coagulase positive, and able to grow in the presence of most antibiotics except vancomycin. The bacteria in the wound are most likely:

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the result shows the bacterial culture was irregular clusters of Gram-positive cocci, kinase and coagulase positive, it is should be <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and furthermore, it is able to grow in the presence of most antibiotics except vancomycin, the bacterial most likely methicillin-resiistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). </em>This organism is believed to harbor a chromosomal gene called mecA which confers on it the ability to be ressitant to methicillin and other β-lactam drugs antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporins  and carbapenems

When the temperature of a gas is increased, the kinetic energy<br> of molecules
kozerog [31]

Answer: Increases

When the temperature of a gas is increased, the kinetic energy

of molecules increases

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, gases possess particles that are in continual random motion. Thus, the increase in temperature of gases will increase the kinetic energy of each particle meant for traveling in space, and then their collision with the walls of the containing vessel.

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and t<span>he frequency of i allele is 0.5.
</span>
If:
I^{A} - <span>the frequency of IA allele
</span>I^{B} - <span>the frequency of IB allele
</span>i - t<span>he frequency of i allele

Then:
</span>I^{A} I^{A} + <span>I^{A} i - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
</span>I^{B} I^{B} + <span>I^{B} i - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
</span>ii <span>- the frequency of individuals with O blood type
</span>
Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
I^{A} = 0.3
ii=0.16&#10;

<span>Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
</span>i= \sqrt{ii}
⇒ i =  \sqrt{0.16}
⇒ i=0.4

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles (I^{A} and i). To calculate the frequency of I^{B}<span> allele, we will use the formula:
</span>I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1
⇒ I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i
⇒ I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4
⇒ I^{B} = 0.3

Now, in the general population:
I^{A} = 0.4
ii=0.25

<span>Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
</span>i= \sqrt{ii}
⇒ i = \sqrt{0.25}
⇒ i=0.5

I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1
⇒ I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i
⇒ I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5
<span>⇒ I^{B} = 0.1
</span>


b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.

does the rate of alcoholic fermentation differ when different types of sugar are used as a source of energy! i need a claim n ev
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is a practical question and would require some sort of experiment. However, let's define what rate of reaction means. The rate of a chemical reaction (in this case fermentation) can be described as the speed at which the reaction occurs; meaning the speed at which product is formed per unit time.

The "claim" in the attachment in the question can be referred to as hypothesis since this question is an experiment. The null hypothesis here will be "<u>the rate of alcoholic fermentation is not affected by the type of sugar used as an energy source</u>".

The "evidence" from the attachment will be result of the experiment conducted which cannot be provided here.

However, the conclusion of this experiment (which also answers the main question; does the rate of alcoholic fermentation differ when different types of sugar are used as a source of energy?) should show that the rate of alcoholic fermentation should differ based on the type of sugar used. This is because different enzymes are responsible for the conversion of this disaccharide to the glucose monosaccharide which is what finally undergoes alcoholic fermentation. For example sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose by sucrase while lactose is broken down into glucose and galactose by the enzyme lactase.

Note that the reaction rate from glucose to produce CO₂ (a product of fermentation) will be the same (regardless of source) but the reaction time from the disaccharide to glucose will be different because of the difference in enzyme and can also be determined by comparing the time to produce the CO₂ by the sugars and the time to produce same amount of CO₂ when given water in the experiment .
