Biology
1 answer:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Penicillin prevents peptidoglycan from cross-linking properly in the last stages of bacterial cell wall synthesis. This greatly weakens the cell wall and causes the bacterium to lyse, or burst open, because of osmotic pressure. Penicillin is bactericidal because it directly kills bacteria.

Over 1,800 mutations have been described within the CFTR gene. These mutations can be readily detected using PCR and DNA sequenc
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.

As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.

The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

Most sidewalks are made out of solid concrete sections. There are spaces between the sections. What happens to the spaces during
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The options are :

The spaces get wider because the concrete sections shrink.

The spaces stay the same because the concrete sections does not shrink or expand.

The spaces get narrower because the concrete sections expand.

Some spaces get wider, some spaces get narrower, and some spaces stay the same because each concrete section behaves differently on a hot summer day.

The answer is

Some spaces get wider, some spaces get narrower, and some spaces stay the same because each concrete section behaves differently on a hot summer day.

Concrete surfaces react with a change in temperature by either shrinking or expanding depending on the temperature difference.

When there is an increase in temperature it expands a bit and shrinks a bit too when the temperature is decreased.

In normal skeletal muscle tissue, binding of acetylcholine to its receptors at the neuromuscular junction results in:
BARSIC [14]
<span>Answer: Opening of Na+ and K+ Explanation: Acetycholine binding opens Na+ and K+ ion channels in the receptors that allow simultaneous passage of Naâş into the muscle fiber and Kâş out of the muscle fiber. More Naâş ions enter than Kâş ions exit, which produces a local change in the membrane potential called the end plate potential. Binding of acetycholine to receptor proteins opens Na+ and K+ channels resulting in jump in resting membrane potential(RMP) from -90mV to +75mV forming an end-plate potential (EPP).</span>
