What are the benefits of genetic variation?

2 answers:

3 0

Genetic variation allows for a greater chance of a population surviving. For example, if a plant species acquires a disease, without genetic variation the disease would just keep getting passed on to the next identical organism and the population would decline and eventually die. But genetic variation prevents that from happening, because you have so many other species in the ecosystem, and genetic variation is a product of sexual reproduction meaning that the offspring of the diseased plant has a possibility of not inheriting the disease.

In humans, the antibiotic amoxicillin (a type of penicillin) is used to treat certain bacterial infections. Complete the sentenc

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Amoxicillin inhibits an enzyme required to build cell walls in bacteria.

Since humans have cell membranes, they are unaffected by amoxicillin.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are specifically designed to target bacterial cells, therefore, they don't kill human cells.

Amoxicillin, a type of penicillin, inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall. The bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycan that constitutes almost 95% of the cell wall in some Gram positive bacteria and as little as 5-10% of the cell wall in Gram negative bacteria. Amoxicillin inhibits the cross linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up a major component of the cell walls of both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
