Answer:

The bacteria with the mutation will survive.

Explanation:

In this population, if there is a group of bacteria of the same specie that mutate and this mutation is the expression of antibiotic resistance, this mean that the "mutant bacteria" are going to live spite the action of the drug.

Meanwhile the rest of the population is going to die because these group of living things are susceptible to the antibiotic, that means, they are going to die.

In the other hand, the "mutant" living things, by passing the time are going to reproduce and lead a new generation of bacteria resistant to the antibiotic.

Blizzard [7]
<span>In their book "Interaction between temperament and environment" behavior geneticists Robert Plomin and Denise Daniels state, "Two children in the same family are [apart from their shared genes] as different from one another as are pairs of children selected randomly from the population." There may be many reasons children in the same family are so different from one another but their finding boils down to the environment. To a large extent the environment influences personality, psychopathology, and cognitive abilities. Environmental differences between children in the same family represent the major source of character and environmental variance.</span>

Give the functions of the following parts of the respiratory system - Nostril - trachea - bronchiole - alveoli - pharynx - laryn
erica [24]

Answer:

Respiratory System: The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases.

Nostril: To warm air on inhalation and remove moisture on exhalation.

trachea: Serves as passage for air, moistens and warms it while it passes into the lungs, and protects the respiratory surface from an accumulation of foreign particles.

bronchiole: To deliver air to a diffuse network of around 300 million alveoli in the lungs.

alveoli: To exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules to and from the bloodstream during breathing.

pharynx: Helps the respiratory system by allowing air to make its way to the respiratory tract.

larynx: Produces vocal sounds and prevents the passage of food and other foreign particles into the lower respiratory tracts.

lungs: To help oxygen from the air we breathe enter the red cells in the blood.

ribs: To aid respiration and help protect the lungs.

diaphragm: Contracts and flattens when you inhale. Creates a vacuum effect that pulls air into the lungs, and relaxes when exhaling.
