Chapter 8, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Change in the DNA sequence or structure of the genome is termed as mutation. Errors during replication and environmental factors can cause mutation. Usually DNA repair mechanism corrects the changes in the

- why do the bacteria grow up to the edge of the area with antibiotics, pause, then continue to grow across the area with antibiotics? A) The antibiotics caused mutations in the DNA of the bacteria, making them resistant to the antibiotics. B) The bacteria mutated as a survival response to the presence of antibiotics, enabling the bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotics. C)A few bacteria experienced random mutations in their DNA, which allowed some of them to grow even though antibiotics were present. D) Researchers added antibiotic resistant bacteria to the culture, so that the bacteria would continue to grow across the area with antibiotics.arrow_forwardSmall circular molecules of DNA in bacteria ____. a. result from the activity of restriction enzymes b. are plasmids c. cannot survive outside of the cell d. are eventually degraded e. are DNA fragments from their main chromosomearrow_forwardWhy do normal adult animal cells NOT express the telomerase enzyme?
