Answer / darshana
bacteriostatic means slows down the growth of bacteria?drug
removed, bug grows.
examples: chlroamphenicol, clindamycin, macrolides,
spectinomycin, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, trimethoprim .
bactericidal means kills the microbe .
examples: aminoglycosides, bacitracin, cephalosporins,
penicillins, high dose macrolides, quinolones, vancomycin,
rifampin.

Answer / kk pandey
When a drug/chemical just Inhibit (stops) the growth of
bacteria but doesn't kill them,the drug is called
Bacteriostatic. (static = stop).
whereas...
When a drug/chemical totally 'Kills' the bacteria,the drug is
called Bacteriocidal.(Cidal = Kill).

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
In snapdragons tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t). Red flowers are produced by RR and white flowers by rr but the heterozygous Rr is pink. A dwarf red snapdragon is crossed to a homozygous tall plant with white flowers. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1? the F2?
The weight of the fruit of one variety of squashes is determined by three pairs of genes: AABBCC produces 6 lb squashes and aabbcc produces 3 lb squashes. Each dominant allele adds 1/2 lb tothe base weight (3 lb). If a pure breeding line that produced 6 lb squashes was crossed with a pure breeding line that produced 3 lb squashes, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 and the F2?

People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter how hard they try. Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue roller, then what is the probability of the offspring inheriting the tongue rolling gene?
