What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

1 answer:

7 0

1.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.

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

3.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

4. 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.

Which effect does deforestation have on the carbon cycle?

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Deforestation facilitates one part of the carbon cycle, increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere. It also prevents forests from absorbing any further carbon by destroying the trees. It, therefore, inhibits this aspect of the cycle and leads to increased levels of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

What the function if animal cell divide without centrioles?

Vesna [10]

Answer:

spindle fibers act as guides for the alignment of the chromosomes as they separate later during the process of cell division.

Explanation:

They play a role in mitosis of animal cells and plant cells are able to reproduce without them.

Research however has shown that mitosis can take place in animal cells after centrioles have been destroyed. ... In higher plants mitosis takes place perfectly satisfactorily with microtubules forming spindle fibres but without the help of centrioles.
