Biology
1 answer:
zlopas [31]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Bacteria with antibiotic resistance gene/s are favored by natural selection.  

Explanation:

The presence of one or more antibiotic resistance genes in the bacteria becomes an adaptive trait in the presence of antibiotics in the surroundings. These bacteria have higher chances of survival and reproduce more to produce more progeny as compared to the bacteria that lack any antibiotic resistance gene. Therefore, the frequency of antibiotic-resistant genes in the population increases over the generations. Here, the increased fitness of bacteria having antibiotic resistance gene/s in the presence of antibiotics represents a natural selection.

Scientific thinking: how can scientists assess the health risks of trans fats
Klio2033 [76]
Scientists can access the risks of trans fats by conducting an appropriate experiment which will show the effects of the fats on the human system.
This can be done by feeding known quantity of trans fats to rats over a specific period of time. During the period, the change in the rat weights will be measured on the daily basis and every other changes that is noted in the rats will be noted down. A control group of rats will be included in the experiment; these rats will be given normal rat feeds and not trans fats.
 When the period of feeding is completed, the rats will be killed, all the organs in the rats such as liver, blood, brains, kidney, etc will be harvested and these organs will then be biochemically analysed in order to compare the changes in them with that of a normal rats.
Rats are usually used in biochemical research because their systems and that of human is comparable. Any negative effect of trans fats that is noted in the rats will also hold true for human beings.

Difference between family planning and birth control
nexus9112 [7]
‘Family planning’ is a broad term that includes any measures taken to responsibly prevent pregnancy (birth control, contraception, planning, abortions, permanent infertility procedures, etc.).
Birth control, however, is specifically designed to intervene in a woman’s natural hormones to drastically reduce the possibility of pregnancy (much like contraception)

Describe the similarities and differences in the way humans and insects obtain oxygen.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

There are many ways.

Explanation:

Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, whereas insects do not. In humans, the air is brought in through the mouth/nose, through the windpipe, and into the lungs, the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream where it can be transported to muscles and organs. However, insects take in air through tiny holes in their thorax and abdomen. These are called spiracles. The oxygen is stored in many dorsal air sacs to be used. Then carbon dioxide is expelled through the spiracles.
