Why is the skin next to a hangnail I have green?
Bacterial infection probably setting in, causing a paronychia. See your healthcare provider.
What is the medical significance of Bacterial spores?
Bacterial spores are far more resistant to disinfectants than non-spore forming bacteria. As a result, bacterial spores are more virulent and therefore more capable of causing disease since they can survive most methods that kill 'normal' bacteria...
Why do chromosome mutations occur most often during nuclear divisions?
Chromosome mutations occur during nuclear division because when the sequence of nucleotides are being placed substitutions, and frameshifts can occur, causing mutations. Substitution is when one nucleotide replaces another and frameshift mutation is when a nucleotide deletes, causing codons to be incorrectly read.
What is complement how does it cause bacterial lysis what are some othere roles of complement?
Complement is a collection of proteins found in the blood that are effective against a wide variety of bacteria. Complement can cause bacterial lysis when the C5-C9 proteins are activated by C3. The C9 proteins insert into the bacterial cell membrane causing lysis and destruction of the bacteria.
What is microbial control?
Microbial control means killing a certain number of bacterial cells. This is usually done to keep them from overrunning and causing a disease or illness.
Adding nucleotides to a gene causing a frameshift to occur is what?
an AN insertion
What is ultraviolet radiation and how does it affect humans?

What wave causes sunburn?
In general, it is ultraviolet light (the UV ray) that causes sunburn. Ultraviolet light is of a higher frequency than visible light, which means shorter wavelength, and higher energy. UV rays tend to do some tissue damage and burn skin causing sunburn.

What is streptcoccus?
It is a bacterial cell species that are round shapes, can't move, infection-causing, and are found in the body.
Which vitamin do you get from the sun?
Ultraviolet A (long wavelength) initiates production of vitamin D and melanin (tanning). Ultraviolet B (short wavelength) damages the skin causing sunburns and in some cases cancers.

Bacterial infection probably setting in, causing a paronychia. See your healthcare provider.
What will happen to freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water?
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
What is streptcoccus pneumoniae?
It is a bacterial cell species that are round shapes, can't move, infection-causing, and are found in the body.
