Ans.

Antibiotic misuse or antibiotic abuse represents misuse or overuse of antibiotics that causes several serious health effects. It leads to development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and other pathogens. MDR (multiple drug resistance) is a dangerous consequence of antibiotic abuse.

Bacteria with MDR are known as super bugs as they have become resistant to multiple drugs and cause life-threatening diseases.

Thus, it is important not to overuse or misuse antibiotics.

It's important to not misuse or overuse antibiotics because of the risk of drug addiction, and the side effects (overdose, and decline in physical health) of having misused and/or overused an antibiotic. In fact misusing or overusing antibiotics could create more problems than what you originally used the antibiotics for.

What tends to happen after a mass extinction event? How are humans affecting the ability of this to happen?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Scientists have been concerned that human activities could cause more plants and animals to become extinct than any point in the past. Along with human-made changes in climate (see above), some of these extinctions could be caused by overhunting, overfishing, invasive species, or habitat loss

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Codominance

Explanation:

Codominance occurs when two heterozygous allele for a trait is expressed equally in the an organism's phenotype with neither allele being dominant or recessive. In codominance, none of the allele hides the expression of the other allele. So when two alleles are crossed, the offspring carries a combination of the parents phenotype without anyone masking the other.

From the question,  the type of genetic pattern of the leopard geckos display is codominance.

In 1848, Phineas Gage, a railroad construction foreman, survived when an explosion drove an iron rod through his head damaging t
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Case study

Explanation:

Phineas Gage: a case study.

An error in the procedure caused that, when this worker tried to compact the powder placed in the cavity using a metal bar, a spark would jump. The explosion of the mixture occurred a few centimeters from the face of the young man and, as a result, the metal bar one meter long and about three centimeters in diameter pierced his skull before landing more than twenty meters from where he presumably.

When Gage returned to work in the work, the measured and cordial worker that everyone knew had disappeared to give way to a person with bad temper, easy to irritate, given to insults, prone to waste and with a very short-term vision of the lifetime. He was, in general, an impatient and irreverent person, who let himself be carried away by desires, fruit of a whim, and who thought little of others.

This little historical episode is a mandatory stop in many university careers related to neuroscience and behavior because, in fact, it was one of the first well-documented examples in which it was seen how material changes in the brain modified not only cognitive abilities, but aspects of psychology that have traditionally been associated with the "soul", that is, the way of being and the essence of human beings.

Somehow, the accident of the metal bar served to indicate the biological bases on which rather abstract psychological processes are sustained, such as the management of emotions and decision-making. In addition, the case of Phineas Gage also served to reinforce the hypothesis that different areas of the brain deal with different aspects of behavior.
