<u>1</u><u>.</u><u>Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.</u>

<u>2</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.</u>

<u>3</u><u>.</u><u>Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance</u>

<u>4</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.</u>

<u>I</u><u> </u><u>think</u><u> </u><u>so</u><u> </u>

Help!!!! Can anyone answer this lab questions below about mitosis!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Mitosis is a division of a eukaryotic cell in which the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells.  

In multicellular organisms, both sexual and asexual reproduction is followed by cell division, which ensures the growth and development of the organism. In addition, cell division is necessary to replace dead cells and repair injuries. New cells are constantly being added and old ones are being destroyed. About a hundred thousand more cells are created every second, and of course the same number dies. The new cells start with the division of the source cell. The cells formed in this way are called daughter cells. Stem cells can gradually divide into all the different cells in the body through mitosis.

Most of the body's cells are constantly renewed by mitosis, but there are also so-called irreplaceable cells that are formed only once in a lifetime for the life of the organism and do not regenerate by mitosis.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Adenina (30%), citosina (15%), guanina (15%) o timina (40%)

Explicación:

El 30% de las bases nitrogenadas totales lo ocupa la adenina, el 15% de las bases nitrogenadas totales corresponde a la citosina, el 15% de las bases nitrogenadas totales toma la guanina y el 40% restante de las bases nitrogenadas totales lo ocupa la timina. Entonces, al combinar todos estos porcentajes, obtenemos el 100 por ciento del volumen del ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN).
