- In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 2,000, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 150. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? There is no way to know given the information provided Both infections are equally likely Donoteatum thisbacterium Parasiticum mucoidesarrow_forwardParagraph Drawing The previous scenario is a greatly-simplified demonstration of how antibiotic resistance is selected for in bacteria. It assumes bacterial cells are either totally resistant (BR+, red cells) or completely susceptible (BRo, yellow). In reality, just like people differ in height, with many different heights possible, bacteria in a population can differ along a whole spectrum of resistance. Drag and Drop these labels on to the graph. One label will not be used Least Resistant Use of Use of brincomycin selects AGAINST brincomycin selects FOR these cells these cells Spectrum of Resistance Number of cells Most Resistant Notes Comments 33°Farrow_forwardIn relation to allometric scaling which of the statement(s) is correct?

- You are studying a population of wild coyotes and notice that every three years there is an epidemic of bacterial disease. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this periodic cycling of the disease ? A) New coyotes, which are suceptible to the disease, are continously born into the population B) Coyotes are dying from other causes over time. C) During an outbreak the proportion of coyotes who are infected slowly falls as they recover D) Coyotes from other populations who have already been infected and recovered from diseases immigrate into the study populationarrow_forwardHow does cooperation differ from mutualism?
