The bacteria which cause septicaemia are fast becoming resistant to the antibiotics used for controlling them. Which one of the following explanations fits best?

#SCPH05 I Biotechnology
  1. Each and every individual bacterium, in order to survive, develops a resistance to the antibiotic when exposed to it, and passes that resistance on to future generations.
  2. Only some bacteria, in order to survive, develop a resistance to the antibiotic when exposed to it, and pass that resistance on to future generations.
  3. A few bacteria have a natural heritable resistance to the antibiotic, so they survive when exposed to it, and pass that resistance on to future generations.
  4. All the bacteria have a natural heritable resistance to the antibiotic, so they survive when exposed to it, and pass that resistance on to future generations

#SCPH01 Biochemistry

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
