Question
Chapter 15, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To propose:
A hypothesis as how the genes of the bacteria present in the organ of a flashlight fish are regulated and organized. The flashlight fish consists of an organ under its eye, which helps in emitting light. There is a bacterium inside the organ that is responsible for emitting the light.
Concept introduction:
Bacteria present in the organ of the flashlight fish have a mutual relation with the fish. The bacteria get its nutrient from the fish and the fish startles the predators and attracts prey with the help of the light that the bacteria emit.

Subject: Microbiology
The author of a general biology textbook writes in reference to the development of antibiotic resistance, “The speed at which bacteria reproduce ensures that sooner or later a mutant bacterium will appear that is able to resist the poison.” How might this mutant bacterial cell appear? Do you agree with the statement? Does this bode ill for the future use of antibiotics?
Please answer fast
You genetically engineered a cell to no longer contain the extracellular domain of an integrin. What is the most likely effect of losing this domain on the cell's ability to bind?
It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the ECM.
It would affect both the cell's ability to attach to other cells and the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton.
It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton through adaptor proteins.
It would have no effect on the cell's ability to attach to anything

- Antibiotics are a form of medicine used to treat bacterial infections. However, new bacteria are evolving that are resistant to antibiotics. When someone uses antibiotics, they often contribute in a small way to an increase in the number of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. How would an economist classify antibiotic use?
