Answer:

a."Gentamicin has a longer half-life than other aminoglycosides."

Explanation:

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that binds to bacterial ribosomal proteins and causes the inhibition of the protein synthesis, killing the bacteria. The killing can continue for long periods after administrating the drug and even once that the concentrations of this one can no longer be detected in the plasma. That is the reason why this drug is given once a day.

Explain why it is important for daughter cells to have a full set of chromosomes. Use complete sentences.
Leya [2.2K]
In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set. Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied.
