Answer and Explanation

The normal microbiota that harbouring an R plasmid will transmit its R plasmid to the normal microbiota because the normal microbiota does not have R plasmid after transmission of R plasmid its increases the resistance  capacity of normal microbiota. This is the significance of normal microbiota that harbours an R PLASMID.

Answer:

That microbe can potentially transfer the R plasmid to a member of the normal microbiota.

Explanation:

Plasmids are extrachromosomal circular DNA molecules. They have the ability to replicate independently and generally have few genes. It is worth noting that in a cell several copies of plasmids can be found and that they are frequently transferred from one cell to another. Thus, we can conclude that a microbe can potentially transfer the R plasmid to a member of the normal microbiota.

Plasmids generally have genetic information that is not extremely essential for the survival of the bacteria, but they are usually related to some adaptive function for special situations. As an example, we can mention those plasmids that guarantee resistance to antibiotics and those that increase the probability that a bacterial cell will cause some disease.

Why was introducing foxes ineffective at quelling the rapidly-growingrabbit population
natima [27]

The introduction of foxes in order to control, or even decline, the rapidly growing rabbit population was not effective due to very simple reasons, reproduction rates and available area for living.

The rabbits are reproducing quicker than the foxes, and not just quicker, but in larger numbers with every lither, thus outnumbering the foxes by far, even if each fox manages to kill a rabbit or two each day.

The area available for the rabbits to live and spread out is huge, so they are not limited by a small amount of area where their number will have to stop to grow because of lack of food sources, thus spreading around without any problem, especially because of the lack of competition.
