If the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus experiences a cost for maintaining one or more antibiotic-resistance genes, what would happen in environments that lack antibiotics?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior

  1. These genes would be maintained in case the antibiotics appear.

  2. These bacteria would be outcompeted and replaced by bacteria that have lost these genes.

  3. These bacteria would try to make the cost worthwhile by locating and migrating to microenvironments where traces of antibiotics are present.

  4. The number of genes conveying antibiotic resistance would increase in these bacteria.

There are few statements is given regarding the peptide bond configuration in a chain

(a) The peptide bond is normally (99.6% of the time) in the trans configuration, constraining  to a value of w=+_180

(b) The peptide bond is normally (99.6% of the time) in the Cis configuration, constraining  to a value of w=+_180

(c) In the trans configuration of peptide bond C and C=O lies in the Same plane while in different plane in case of cis configuration 

(d) In the trans configuration of peptide bond C and C=O lies in the different plane while in same plane in case of cis configuration

 A researcher working on island biogeography mapped how isolation-controlled immigration (I), and area-controlled extinction (E), will act on number of species present on the islands. He forgot to label the size of the islands (small or large) and the location of the islands (near or far) on the graph.
Using information from MacArthur and Wilson's equilibrium theory, select the option that correctly identifies A, B, C and D in the figure above.

Both males and females of a fish species show variation in colour. A population of this species consists of 40% blue females, 20% red females, 20% blue males and 20% red males. A researcher catches one fish at random from this population. Given that a male fish is caught, the   probability that it is blue is (Use decimal notation, not fractions or percentage)
