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

What situations might be viewed as ethical uses of human cloning? Are you doubtful, fearful, or hopeful about human cloning?
The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?

Are dominant genes related to dominant traits?
In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?
How many chromosomes would normally be found in a human stomach cell?
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?
