When a cell divides to make two new cells, it copies its DNA first. This is called DNA replication. Why do you think this is imp

Answer:

DNA replication is important because without it, cell division could not occur. With DNA replication, the set of DNA of a cell can be duplicated and then each cell that results from division can have its own entire set of DNA, and cell division can theoretically continue indefinitely.

miv72 [106K]
<span>The victim's hair had grown 8 mm, which at a rate of 0.44 mm per day means that she was alive 18.18 days after dying her hair. Given the date of hair dying as August 1, 2004, it is likely that the victim was deceased sometime on August 19th, 2004. Time of the day depends on the previous hair dye schedule, which was not provided.</span>

Why gene flow isn’t the cause of antibiotic resistance
romanna [79]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance continues to become worse, despite the ever-increasing resources devoted to combat the problem. One of the most important factors in the development of resistance to antibiotics is the remarkable ability of bacteria to share genetic resources via Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT).

LGT occurs on a global scale, such that in theory, any gene in any organism anywhere in the microbial biosphere might be mobilized and spread. With sufficiently strong selection, any gene may spread to a point where it establishes a global presence. From an antibiotic resistance perspective, this means that a resistance phenotype can appear in a diverse range of infections around the globe nearly simultaneously. We discuss the forces and agents that make this LGT possible and argue that the problem of resistance can ultimately only be managed by understanding the problem from a broad ecological and evolutionary perspective. We also argue that human activities are exacerbating the problem by increasing the tempo of LGT and bacterial evolution for many traits that are important to humans.
