Antibiotics disrupt essential processes or structures in the bacterial cell. This either kills the bacterium or slows down bacterial growth. Depending on these effects an antibiotic is said to be bactericidal or bacteriostatic.
Fluid mosaic is a term used to describe the current model of the cell membrane. Cell membranes are basically double layers (bilayers) of molecules called phospholipids.A mosaic is a structure made up of many different parts.<span> Mainly because of the way the plasma membrane is made up. It is fluid because it can wave and wobble like fluid, a bit sticky though. Due to the phospholipids sticking together. It is called mosaic because there are various proteins stuck inside the fluid creating a kind of patchwork or mosaic </span>
b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.
Explanation:
There is redundancy in the genetic code. That means that different codons can code for the same amino acids, so some mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.
Here, the amino acid is unchanged with the mutation.
If the amino acid sequence of the protein is the same, then the protein is not changed, so there will be no change in the phenotype
