<h3>What are antibiotics?</h3>

Antibiotics are drugs that have the capacity to either inhibit the growth of or kill bacteria and some other microorganisms capable of causing diseases.

Antibiotics are of 2 types:

  2. Broad spectrum antibiotics

Narrow spectrum antibiotics are effective against a very narrow range of bacteria. They are very specific in their targets.

Zina [86]

Mussels are molluscans and are freshwater animals. The change in the environment led to new traits of mussels, it underwent natural selection and the thick shells have high chances of survival.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is a process of nature that eliminates the organism with less survival and unfit traits while selecting the organisms with better traits of survival in the altered conditions.

The arrival or the introduction of the crabs in the environment altered the previous habitat of the mussels and led to the adaptation of the better trait quality in the mussel species.

The trait of the thick shells underwent natural selection as they were favoured for the changed conditions. The mussel having thick shells have high chances of survival over thin-shelled mussels as the crab will find it hard to attack the thick-shelled mussels.

Therefore, option A. change in environment, option B. natural selection and option E. chances of survival are the correct statements.
