Bacterial diseases: Introduction Bacterial diseases include any type of illness or disease caused by bacteria‚ a type of microbe. Microbes are tiny organisms that cannot be seen without a microscope and include viruses‚ fungi‚ and some parasites as well as bacteria. The vast majority of bacteria do not cause disease‚ and many bacteria are actually helpful and even necessary to good health. Millions of bacteria normally live on the skin and in the intestines and can also be found on the genitalia

Hypothesis Statement Trees that exhibit gumming are more resistant to fusarium dieback caused by the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) because the gum secreted acts as a defense against beetles that attempt to penetrate the bark‚ and as a result grant the tree faux resistance to the Fusarium euwallaceae fungi. Introduction Californian agriculture is at great risk because of a disease being spread by the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB)‚ Euwallacea sp. The PSHB is an ambrosia beetle

granulosa? This would be something to look into because they did find the opposite instance. However‚ why were there high resistant snakes residing in areas with low toxicity newts? Because the analogy has a pattern of increasing resistance followed by increased defense‚ there has to be a fall-off and starting over at some point. In these areas where there were high resistant predators and low defensive prey‚ it is possible the arms race was either just beginning or starting over because it had maxed

With antibiotic resistance and susceptibility‚ the E. Coli bacteria become resistant or susceptible due to the evolutionary principles of genetic drift‚ mutation‚ and natural selection. The spread of Tuberculosis involved a great deal of genetic drift because of all the different populations that had spread the infection around the

On top of that‚ the use of herbicide resistant crops allows farmers to use milder general herbicides to remove weeds. GMO’s have helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States as well. Since 1996 genetically modified crops have reduced the production of greenhouse gases from agriculture

companies never ceases to amaze the consumer. There are multiple features that consumers‚ including myself‚ consider when desiring to upgrade to a new smartphone. The next line of smartphones should have a more durable LED display‚ with a scratch-resistant glass for input‚ a minimum of 4G Internet speeds‚ a faster processing operating system‚ and a longer battery lifespan that can be charged wirelessly. We will compare the features of the up coming Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple’s iPhone 5. Hopefully

attachment towards anyone let alone their caregivers. I this paper I will tell you about three different types of attachments and their effect on children. These three different attachments are: secure attachment‚ avoidant attachment‚ and ambivalent/resistant attachment. There are children who fuss a little when their caregiver leaves but the child usually calms down shortly after and when their caregiver returns they seek immediate interaction and are easily

runs parallel to the geological strata. A laccolith forms a larger intrusion that causes rocks above to form domes. The landforms produced by plutons depend on the size of the intrusion and its strength relative to surrounding rocks. If it is more resistant‚ it forms uplands or elevated areas; if it is weaker‚ it may form depressions. Intrusive rocks tend to be coarse grained‚ since the magma cools slowly and has sufficient time to form large crystals. Extrusive igneous rocks cool rapidly at the earth’s

of the orders Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies)‚ Diptera (Flies and Mosquitoes) and Coleoptera (Beetles). Thus‚ B. thuringiensis serves as an important reservoir of Cry toxins and cry genes for production of biological insecticides and insect-resistant genetically modified crops. Use in pest control Spores and crystalline insecticidal proteins produced by B. thuringiensis are used as specific insecticides under trade names such as Dipel and Thuricide. Because of their specificity‚ these pesticides

to antibiotic purchase. What is Antibiotic Resistance? Antibiotic resistance is a form of drug resistance which occurs when a particular microorganism survives an exposure to one or more antibiotics. Once a microorganism has grown “immune” or resistant to the antibiotic‚ future doses of the same substance would not have any effect on the target microorganism
