B.
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has reproductively isolated groups of bacteria.
C.
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.

Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.

The effects of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic extracellular environments on plant and animal cells is the same. However, du
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, there is same effects of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic extracellular environments on plant and animal cells because both cells are more similar to each other. If a plant or animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will go outside the cell, and the cell will shrink, in isotonic environment, there is no water movement inside or outside of the cell, so there is no change in the size of the cell, while on the other hand, if a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will turgor.
