Occasionally a new resistant strain of pathogen appears. The new strain may spread rapidly. Explain why

Biology
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Antibiotics are not effective for new strains and so new resistant pathogens survive and reproduce, which leads to the increasing population of resistant pathogens and spread rapidly.

Bacteria can evolve and adapt themselves quickly as they are able to reproduce at a fast rate. Mutations of bacteria produce new strains that are resistant to certain antibiotics, such as penicillin, and cannot be destroyed by the antibiotic so they spread more rapidly.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Dr. Leland Hartwell used baker’s yeast, <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, as a model system, which was a highly suitable model for cell cycle studies. He introduced the concept of Checkpoints where he said cells are arrested if damaged so that the cells repair system can work to correct such damages. Dr. Paul Nurse used a different type of yeast, <em>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</em>, a type of yeast distantly related to the baker's yeast as a model organism.

Aldosterone ________. A) is secreted by the posterior pituitary B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption C) presence increas
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
