Answer:

Beneficial mutations events can generate resistance to drugs

Explanation:

Bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance through mutations, as well as horizontal transference events, that allow them to reduce/eliminate the effectiveness of drugs used to treat infections. For example, penicillin-resistant strains have been identified in <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness of the organism; however, there are cases where mutations increase the fitness of the individual. In consequence, antibiotic resistance may occur by natural selection, where antibiotic-resistant bacteria that exhibit beneficial mutations are selected to survive and perpetuate their genetic material.

In the trp operon, attenuation occurs through the recognition of two tryptophan codons in the leader sequence. what would happen
Sati [7]
If a lot of tryptophan is present, the operon will be repressed.
Under intermediate amounts of tryptophan, the change to stop codons would cause the ribosome to stall and therefore would mimic as if there were no tryptophan present.
If no tryptophan present, the operon would be maximally expressed.

a - True. The ribosome would always be stalled in the leader sequence - so this wouldn't matter. However, the operon would still be transcribed because the repressor would be active (remember Trp operon is controlled both by attenuation and repression). True as long as there's not much tryptophan to activate the repressor!
b- True - With no tryptophan the repressor isn't engaged and the ribosome is stalled in the leader sequence.
c- Matters about how much tryptophan is available. So True if there's lots of tryptophan available.
d- I would choose this one as all of the above could be true depending on the levels of tryptophan.

What is a concentration gradient? (Make sure to include the words: solute, solvent, and solution.)
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Concentration gradient means difference in solute concentration among two regions of a solution.

Explanation:

When there is a difference in solute concentration in the two regions of a solution then the term concentration gradient is used .

      Various membrane transport process such as passive transport(diffusion and osmosis),facilitate transport depends on concentration gradient of solute molecule in both sides of plasma membrane.

      During passive and facilitate diffusion solute molecules are transported along their concentration gradient that means from high concentration region to the region of low concentration until equilibrium is being established.
