Draining an infected abscess removes many bacteria. Assume that resistant and susceptible bacteria are removed in the same proportions, and that the remaining bacteria experience the same antibiotic concentration and treatment duration. Which factor promoting the spread of resistance is directly reduced by drainage?

Based on their mechanism of action, which class of anticancer drugs would you expect to inhibit the cell cycle at the end of S phase, specifically?

A long-term scientific study took biopsies from a group of volunteers at multiple points in their life (the same tissue each time).
