Scientist noticed that humans have distinct bacterial communities in their guts; the bacteria in lean humans is different from the bacteria in obese humans. In an experiment investigating the effects of gut bacteria on weight gain/loss in mice, gut bacteria from obese humans were given to one group of mice. A second group of mice were given gut bacteria from lean humans. The mice who received gut bacteria from the obese people gained more weight even though they didn't eat more than the mice who received germs from the lean individuals. What is a hypothesis for the experiment above? Select the best answer. Does the gut bacterial community cause changes in weight? Obese humans have different bacteria than lean humans. The gut bacterial community can cause changes in weight. If gut bacteria affect weight then the mice given lean human's bacteria will lose weight.

An 83 year old patient has been ill the past couple of days with an upper respiratory infection. Her temperature has been elevated at 99.5 °F. Her daughter took her to the physician because of the patient's increasing shortness of breath, fatigue, and lack of appetite. The physician diagnosed a community acquired viral pneumonia and prescribed a 10 day days antibiotics regime. The daughter asked the office nurse, Why is my mother being put on antibiotics if she has a virus? I thought antibiotics did not work for a virus. How would the nurse explain this to the patient and her daughter

In a study, Şprague-Dawley rats were infected with P. multocida type B2 and various characteristics of the Peyer' patches were compared with control groups that were not infected. The rats were euthanised on day 14 post inoculation and various evaluations were performed on each portion of intestines. Results showed no significant differences in the iength of Peyer's patches between infected and the control groups. Answer the following questions on the infection and the characteristics shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Figure 1C.

A Sheepherder rush to you, during one of your surveillance visit to a community, with a concern, that his 9 year old child just feed his animals with part of the food items he bought for cooking tonight and the following happened; 1. Two out of seven of his sheep, 1/5 goats just collapse and become unconscious. 2. But the Horse he ride and Dog were not affected. 3. The food and feed given were wheat palates, Butter beans, Yam peels, Corn and some food ruminants from the kitchen. Questions 1. suggest the specific agent for the disease
A biologist is studying a disease in corn that seems to be more common in cornfields in warmer weather. He is using three genotypes of corn and growing them in greenhouses under different temperatures (each genotype is grown under all temperatures) and measuring susceptibility to the disease. Draw a diagram with norms of reaction showing that the three genotypes respond differently to temperature in terms of disease susceptibility.

A vaccination is developed for a novel viral infection, and the antigen used corresponds to a short stretch of a protein found on the surface of the virus. In clinical trials, people who were exposed to the virus a second time had superior immunity to people who were given the vaccine then exposed to the virus for the first time. What is the BEST explanation for this difference? The vaccination promoted the production of all memory B cells whereas natural infection promoted the proliferation of only those memory B cells specific to the virus. The vaccination promoted the production of the correct memory B cells whereas natural infection did not. People exposed to the virus were able to make many different antibodies that bind different antigens on the virus. Vaccinations promote selection of memory B cells, whereas a natural infection triggers production of cytotoxic B cells.

The Escherichia coli bacteria produces an enzyme that can inactivate β-lactam antibiotics. By contrast, the Salmonella enterica bacteria is killed by β-lactam antibiotics. When a community contains both types of bacteria, fewer of the Salmonella entericabacteria are killed.
