Antibiotics can be used to kill the specific pathogenic bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that causes tuberculosis. The app

earance of antibiotic-resistant strains has made it more difficult to cure M. tuberculosis infections. These antibiotic-resistant bacteria survive and pass on the genes to their offspring, making the resistant phenotype more common in the population DNA analysis indicates that the genes for antibiotic resistance are not normally present in bacterial chromosomal DNA
Which of the following statements best explains how the genes for antibiotic resistance can be transmitted between bacteria without the exchange of bacterial chromosomal DNA?
a The antibiotic-resistant bacteria release a hormone that signals neighboring bacteria to become resistant
b. The genes for antibiotic resistance are located on a plasmid that can be passed to neighboring bacteria.
c. The antibiotic-resistant bacteria are the result of bacteria that specifically modify their own chromosomal DNA to neutralize the antibiotics
d. The antibiotic alters the bacterial genome of each bacterium, which results in an antibiotic-resistant population

Answer:

c. The antibiotic-resistant bacteria are the result of bacteria that specifically modify their own chromosomal DNA to neutralize the antibiotics

Explanation:

In antibiotic resistant M. tuberculosis bacteria, the M. tuberculosis bacteria become drug resistant due to modification of its chromosomal DNA to the antibiotic due to selective pressure.

Note that selective pressure is an reason for any organism with certain phenotypes to have a survival benefit or disadvantage. This thus leads to natural selection.

This natural selection is what causes the M. tuberculosis bacteria to survive.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

Answer:

WAVE #3

Explanation:

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the EM spectrum, according to NASA, ranging from about 0.04 inches (1 millimeter) to more than 62 miles (100 kilometers). They also have the lowest frequencies, from about 3,000 cycles per second, or 3 kilohertz, up to about 300 billion hertz, or 300 gigahertz
