The species concept(s) that can be applied to sexual and asexual species both. Concept introduction : The word “ species ” has been defined differently on the basis of three main species concepts namely; “ Biological Species Concept ” , “Morphological species Concept” , and “ Ecological Species Concept ” . According to the “ Biological species concept ”, a group of population with interbreeding members to produce viable fertile offspring is called species. Human beings are one of the best examples of biological species concept as they belong to the same species. In the “ morphological species concept ”, the species can be differentiated by their body shapes and other structural features whereas; in the “ ecological species concept ” the species can be defined by their ecological niche.

(a)

Summary Introduction

To identify: The species concept(s) that can be applied to sexual and asexual species both.

Concept introduction:

The word **“species” has been defined differently on the basis of three main species concepts namely; “Biological Species Concept”, “Morphological species Concept”, and “Ecological Species Concept”**. According to the “Biological species concept”, a group of population with interbreeding members to produce viable fertile offspring is called species. Human beings are one of the best examples of biological species concept as they belong to the same species. In the “morphological species concept”, the species can be differentiated by their body shapes and other structural features whereas; in the “ecological species concept” the species can be defined by their ecological niche.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
