7. Two students are discussing natural selection in bacteria and how it can relate to antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Bernade

tte states that when antibiotics are used, bacteria can respond by developing traits to help them defeat the antibiotic, which then may increase their fitness. Dominique states that there is already a variety of traits among the bacteria. Bacteria that have traits that allow them to survive the antibiotic and reproduce may have higher fitness. Which individual's reasoning do you agree with more and why?

The most valid hypothesis for explaining the natural selection of bacteria is that of Dominique.

Antibiotics are, initially, molecules naturally synthesized by microorganisms to fight against bacteria competing with their environment. This created a pressure of selection on the bacterial populations, leading to the appearance of resistant strains. In fact, when an antibiotic is used, only bacteria with defense systems against this molecule survive (and reproduce).

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.

Sergeu [11.5K]
The ansseer is Iridium.

The atomic number of iridium is 77 and it comes just before platinum (atomic number = 78).

In iridium,

The number of electrons = no. Of protons = 77.
The no. Of electrons and the no. Of protons is same as atomic number.
