Question

Bacteria are sensitive to certain antibiotics like chloramphenicol and streptomycin, which kill the bacteria by interfering with translation through mechanisms that affect the ribosome's ability to function. If a researcher were to culture populations of Archaea and then treat them with either of the previously mentioned antibiotics, what would be the predicted results

Answer 1

Answer:

A decline in the bacterial population will be observed. It is possible after a long time that these bacteria become resistant to those antibiotics

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Neither antibiotic will have an effect on Archaeon populations because their ribosomes are different from bacterial ribosomes.
