B) Potato
B) Increased resistance
Open Ended Questions:
Antibiotics work by targeting specific features of bacterial cells, such as cell walls or protein synthesis,
which ultimately leads to the death or inhibition of the bacteria causing the infection.
One advantage of asexual reproduction is that it allows plants to reproduce quickly and without the need
for a partner. A disadvantage is that it results in less genetic diversity, making plants more susceptible to
diseases and environmental changes.
Place different antibiotic discs on a bacteria seeded agar plate and incubate at 37 0C for 24 hours. Measure
area/ diameter of the inhibition zone around the antibiotic disk. Largest area/diameter indicates the most
effective antibiotic.
