Why is the cost of reproduction different for males and females?

Hey there :)

The cost of reproduction differs between males and females because:

- The production of sperms is continuous within males. However, for females, the number of eggs produced is very limited, one egg per month. This means only limited number of offsprings. Overall, this makes the eggs more valuable than the sperms.

So from what i have understood, <span>males have unlimited sperm and females have limited ovum. That's why, there is a different cost of reproduction for males and females.

Hope this helps !

Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children

Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc

Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)

Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival

Ampicillin is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics. what would happen to ampr bacterial strains if they were streake
artcher [175]

The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.

As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.

MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:

The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.

The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.
