Concept explainers
a.
ToDiscuss:
The validity of an individual’s statement that “I must have become immune to the drug the doctor gave me”, by providing evidence in support of or refuting his claim. As he was recently diagnosed with strep throat.
Concept introduction:
When microorganismscan tolerate a number of antibiotics, which would generally be inhibitory, it is known as antibiotic resistance. Bacteria have characteristic of drug resistance because they have the incredible genetic versatility and adaptability of the bacterial population. The characteristics of antibiotic resistance would be either intrinsic or acquired.
An individual was recently diagnosed with strep throat. After one week of treatment,he redeveloped the infection. He said that he must become immune to the drug that doctor gave him.
b.
To explain:
The way in which this action played a rolein the redevelopment of infection.

c.
To summarize:
A test that could be used to obtain which antibiotic should be prescribed to treat his reinfection.

- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell.
