1. what does the process of fertilization consist of?

1 point
○exact copy of the male gamete
○exact copy of the female gamete

Explanation:

Question 27

To determine the main difference between bacterial and viral STIs, we analyze each option:

• Antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses. So "You can cure both with antibiotics" is wrong.
• Bacterial STIs (like chlamydia, gonorrhea) are often curable with antibiotics. Viral STIs (like HIV, herpes) don't have a cure (though some can be managed). This option matches.
• "You can’t cure either with antibiotics" is wrong because bacterial STIs can be cured with antibiotics.
• "You can cure most viral STI’s with antibiotics..." is wrong as antibiotics don't work on viruses, and bacterial STIs can be cured.

Fertilization is the process where male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes fuse. Let's analyze:

• "Exact copy of the male gamete" or "female gamete" describes cloning, not fertilization.
• "Fuse together to form nothing" is incorrect.
• When male and female gametes fuse, they form a zygote, which develops into a new organism. This option is correct.

Answer:

B. You can cure most bacterial STI’s with antibiotics, and viral STI’s don’t have a cure
