Answer:

C. When exposed to antibiotics, most bacteria in a population die but some survive and live to reproduce.

Explanation:

Darwin suggested natural selection as the mechanism that explained the evolution of species. This idea states that a population of individuals living in a certain environment is adapted to thrive in it. However, if there is a change in the environment, individuals must adapt in order to survive, otherwise they will die. Only a handful of individuals which had a particular (and random) variation before the change of the envirnonment will be able to adapt and survive. If the variation is heritable, the next generation will have that same trait and will be able to thrive in the new environment.

In the answer C., a population of bacteria is composed of some individuals which are susceptible to the antibiotic and some individuals that are resistand because they possess a mutation in their DNA that allows them to survive an environment with antibiotics. If no antibiotic is present, then both types of bacteria can survive. However, if they are exposed to the antibiotic, the previously resistant bacteria are the only ones that will be able to survive and reproduce.

Chaperone proteins or chaperones assist in the proper folding of proteins. Explain the process.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Proteostasis is mediated by chaperone proteins and protease systems, together with cellular clearance mechanisms such as autophagy and lysosomal degradation.

Chaperone proteins control assembly and inaccurate folding by binding to and stabilizing partly or completely unfolded protein polypeptides till the polypeptide chain is completely synthesized. Chaperone proteins also confirm the stability of unfolded polypeptide chains as they are being translocated into the subcellular organelles.

In a a person is assigned a status at birth and remains at that level throughout life.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

When a person is assigned a status at birth and must remain in it throughout his or her life, it is a caste system.

Explanation:

A caste system is applied in some societies and consists of the assignment of an individual to a social stratum by birthright, being forced to remain in that status and even relate to people of the same social category and allow endogamy.

It is a system that exists in ancient societies, an example being the Hindu caste system or South African apartheid. Other cultures that made use of the caste system were the Arab and Hebrew.

Unlike the caste system, the class system consists of inclusion in a specific social class, without the intervention of the birthright.
