Antibiotic resistance is normally "dominant," meaning that if a bacterium has a gene for a structure such as a ribosome that is sensitive to an antibiotic and a second gene copy that encodes an antibiotic-resistant form of the same structure, resistance will "win out" and the microbe will be antibiotic resistant. This is not the case for streptomycin. Why not?

Strains of bacteria that are resistant to an antibiotic sometimes appear spontaneously among other bacteria of the same type that are killed by the antibiotic. In view of the information in this chapter about DNA replication, what might account for the appearance of this resistance?
A bacterial cell contains Penicillin resistance on its chromosome and an F+ plasmid containing nalidixic acid resistance. In the process of conjugation, this cell will donate which resistance to the recipient cell? Nalidixic Acid, Penicillin, AND Ampicillin Ampicillin Nalidixic acid AND Penicillin Penicillin Nalidixic acid
