spectinomycin, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, trimethoprim .
bactericidal means kills the microbe .
examples: aminoglycosides, bacitracin, cephalosporins,

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).

what are Athletic genes?
A normally pigmented man (dominant) marries an albino woman (recessive). They have 3 children, one of whom is an albino. What is the genotype of the man?
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?

A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
