Biology

Answer:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors. For example, streptomycin stops protein synthesis in prokaryotic cells by binding to their unusual ribosomes.

Explanation:

Sorry if this makes no sense. Basically, the antibiotics will harm/kill cells like the prokaryotic cell, but it won't harm or kill any human cells that are essential. They'll kill bacteria, though. The chemicals in the antibiotics aren't compatible with the ones in the prokaryotic cell, so it'll kill it.

A nerve impulse is an electric charge running across a neuron. Explain why the stimulation supports this explanation
Softa [21]

Plato answer:

Stimulation of a neuron causes a change in the charge inside the cell from negative to positive. This change is caused by ions, which are atoms with an electrical charge, moving across the cell. This change within the cell is consistent with the definition of an electric charge.

Explain how nondisjunction can lead to aneuploidies
nirvana33 [79]
In nondisjunction, if members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not move apart during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II, this means one gamete receives 2 of the same kind of chromosome and i<span>f either one of these abnormal gametes unites with a normal one at fertilization, the zygote will also have an abnormal number of particular chromosomes; which is known as an aneuploidy.</span>
