Genes coding for antibiotic resistance in bacteria are often located on small, circular pieces of DNA called .

What name is given to the short loops of DNA found only in bacterial cells?

Provide background information on antibiotic resistance and its significance

Bacterial pili can be related to the development of antibiotic resistance because Blank______.Multiple choice question.the pili themselves are involved in pumping antibiotics out of cellspili make the bacteria stronger overall, and therefore resistant to killingthe pili themselves are involved in preventing antibiotic entry into cellspili can be used to transfer genes that code for resistance mechanisms

Plasmids used in cloning contain an antibiotic resistance gene.How does this help scientists?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   Bacteria without the plasmid will be easier for scientists to identify.ABacteria without the plasmid will be easier for scientists to identify.(Choice B)   Only bacteria with the plasmid will grow on antibiotic containing nutrient plates. BOnly bacteria with the plasmid will grow on antibiotic containing nutrient plates.(Choice C)   It prevents the bacteria from infecting the scientists during the cloning process.CIt prevents the bacteria from infecting the scientists during the cloning process.(Choice D)   All of the prepared bacteria will be resistant to antibiotics.DAll of the prepared bacteria will be resistant to antibiotics.

What is a likely cause of antibiotic resistance?
