Explain why all cells in a population do not die instantaneously when exposed to an antimicrobial agent, even when they are of a

single species.
Biology
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The killing of the microorganisms does not take place instantaneously when getting exposed to an antimicrobial agent or a lethal agent, however, the population gets reduced by a constant fraction at constant time duration, known as exponential killing.  

The microbes react with their surroundings, making modifications in their internal environment. Also, there is a certain threshold of an antimicrobial agent, which must be met in order to kill the entire population. The cells, which are active get to die or killed briskly as antimicrobial agents target the metabolic procedures of the cell.

B. their shape isn't affected by the reaction. however their structure can be affected due to constant reuse.

C. they are biological catalysts that break down bonds which helps in making digestion faster.

D. for example: digestion, neutralization...

E. pH can affect the enzyme's shape which will slow it down, temperature can help the enzyme work faster however if it gets too high it will affect the enzyme's shape.

Which effect is most likely caused by nondisjunction during meiosis?
Reil [10]
The answer to the question would be an extra chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which all sexually reproducing diploid eukaryotes have. It is finished in the process of fertilization, resulting in a zygote. The chromosome number is divided by half in this process, resulting in four haploid cells which all differ genetically from the parent cells. After DNA replication, two cell divisions take place, referred to as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. The first cell division generates the diversity of genetic information through the process of crossing over and random positioning of homologous chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is here reduces from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). 

In order to achieve genetic diversity, the homologous chromosomes need to separate in the first meiosis, and then the sister chromatids need to separate in the second meiosis, which brings us to four haploid cells. Nondisjunction is an error in this process that can happen in either the separation of homologous chromosomes, or the separation of sister chromatids. The result of nondisjunction in a chromosome imbalance, so a cell that has been affected by nondisjunction is an aneuploid cell. There are different types of aneuploidy, like monosomy (the loss of one chromosome), trisomy (the gaining of one chromosome) and different syndromes can occur as a result of this erroneous process. 

Out of the answers you provided, gaining an extra chromosome would be the answer, but a single chromosome loss can also be the result of nondisjunction.

We have two parts working for our central nervous system. The brain: it serves as the main control of the human body, it receives information from our senses and provides reaction. The spinal cord: this play a vital role to distribute all neurons throughout, it serves as a connection to provide transmission.
