Answer:
There are 2 possible punnett squares. In the case Kendal is a carrier, cross Aa with aa for Kent. In the case Kendal is not a carrier, cross AA with aa.
I'm pretty sure the answer is B
Answer:
All the given statements are correct except b.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.
It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.
There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:
- Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
- Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
- Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
- Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
- Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
Answer:
If the genotype of the parents are <em>Iᵃi </em>and <em>I</em>ᵇ<em>i, </em>then four type of offspring will be produced.The genotype of the offspring are, <em>IᵃIᵇ, Iᵃi,Iᵇi, </em>and <em>ii.</em>
Explanation:
<em>IᵃIᵇ = </em>As the alleles are co-dominant in nature, so both type of alleles are expressed. The blood group will be AB. So, both A and B type of antigen will be found in plasma membrane of RBC.
<em>Iᵃi= </em>In this type of genotype only A type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be A type.
<em>Iᵇi= </em>In this type of genotype only B type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be B type.
<em>ii= </em>This is a recessive type of genotype. So, no antigen will be found on the membrane of the RBC. And the blood group will be O type.
The offspring's ratio will be 1:1:1:1.
