Hybrid corn is produced that is resistant to bacteria infection and is highly productive What might have been the phenotypes of the two parents?

If bacterial resistant, highly productive corn is produced, the phenotypes could be - Resistance to a pathogen might just be from a single gene. Productively are the result of several genes, often termed "Quality Trait Loci" or "QTLs." Combining several genes from each parent leads to Hybrid vigor, where the hybrid has better productively than its best parent.

How is natural selection shown in the development of antibioticresistant strains of bacteria?
Exposure of a population to a toxin that kills a high percentage of the population selectively eliminates those individuals most susceptible to the toxin. This leaves the most resistant individuals to reproduce individuals that are also resistant. After many generations of this selection the whole population is resistant.
How does resistance develop in bacteria?
Bacteria, like all organisms, have phenotypic variations. Some bacteria are resistant to antibacterial drugs and survive the onslaught of these drugs. They then go on to have progeny ( by fission ) that they confer this resistance on so that you have a new population of resistant bacteria.
What effect might antibacterial soaps have on the evolution of bacteria?
Provide a selective environment where those with resistance survive and replicate and those without die off. Gives rise to resistant bacteria.
What Causes of primary koch infection?
Primary Koch Infection is also known as Tuberculosis. It is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is very contagious. It is spread when the person with the infection coughs or sneezes.
Why is the complete destruction of the epidermis dangerous?
The epidermis is body's first defence against disease and infection. If the epidermis is completely destroyed, the body is more susceptible to bacteria.
What is VRE infection?
A VRE infection is a Vancomycin resistant enterococcus infection. This means an enterococcus bacteria is present and it is resistant to the antibiotic Vancomycin.
What is mercer infection cure?
You are probably referring to methicillin resistant Staph aureus (MRSA) infection - an infection that is caused by the bacteria, Staph aureus, that has become resistant to most antibiotics. Yes I am but I asked what is it to define it mercer dease
Is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection the same as the 'flesh eating bacteria' called MRSA?
No, there are different bacteria.
Can ignoring the signs of a wound infection cause bacteria to become drug resistant?
Yes.
Do you need ampiclox to prevent infection?
Taking antibiotics to prevent typhoid infection is not advised. You will create the drug resistant bacteria by this way. That is very dangerous phenomena.
What is mersa infection?
MERSA and MRSA are the same bacteria, Staph Aureous. When then become resistant to a certain antibiotic called methicillin they then get the designation of methicillin resistant Staph Aureous. The difficulty in treating this super bug is that is is resistant to many, but not all antibiotics.MSRA is a contagious disease that is a strain of bacterial staph infection.
Is augmentin good for a tooth infection?
Yes. It is excellent and used for bacteria that are resistant to penicllin. It is usually given twice a day in the strength of 875mg.
What bacteria is called superbug infection?
diptheria There are an extremely large amount of diseases caused by bacteria, but fortunately bacterial diseases are easily cured with antibiotics, whereas viral diseases cannot be cured (only the symptoms can be treated) and must run there coarse.
What are some problems that arise when a bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic?
The antibiotic resistance may be transferred to a virulent pathogenic bacterium. Then we will not be able to cure the infection.
What is antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Also known as "superbugs", antibiotic resistant bacteria have evolved to a point that our usual antibiotics won't kill them. VRE and MRSA are common forms of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Do antibiotics cause bacteria to become resistant?
Yes, over use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant.
What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram resistant bacilli of the most dangerous disease causing bacteria?
endospore
