The answer is natural selection.
In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance
of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be
inherited. Red and green colors of butterflies increased the chance of their <span>survival and reproduction, so these traits will pass to the next generation.</span>

"Image" is an example of visual data with regard to computer crime.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An act committed by a skilled or professional user of computers, also named as hacker who secretly browses or steals private information from a company or individual's system therefore this whole process is known as "computer crime".
Image is one of the best source or evidence in the form of visual data with respect to computer crime. Because many details can be collected or fetched out just from visual figures or pictures. It can contain codes, relatable links or some factors which can be helpful for targeting culprit.
<span>It has provided clear and accurate pictures.
</span><span>The statement that best explains how the Hubble Space Telescope has made outer space exploration easier is that it has provided clear and accurate pictures. Particularly, the combination of images helped with detection of some particularly structures and galaxies that were hidden before.</span>
Answer:
All the given statements are correct except b.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.
It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.
There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:
- Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
- Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
- Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
- Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
- Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
