Horizontal gene transfer has been implicated in the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

What is evolution?
Evolution is the gradual change in the inherited traits of biological populations over several generations. These traits are the expressions of DNA is passed down through reproduction from parent to offspring. Because of mutation, genetic recombination, as well as other sources of genetic variation, different traits frequently exist within a population. This variation is subjected to evolutionary processes like natural selection (including mate choice) as well as genetic drift, which cause some traits to become more or less prevalent within a population. This is when evolution occurs. Heritable traits evolve over successive generations as a result of shifting evolutionary pressures which determine whether a trait would be common as well as rare within a population.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Hey mate.....

Explanation:

This is ur answer.....

<em>-</em><em>-</em><em>></em><em> </em><em>By controlling insects and rodents, pesticides prevent the spread of disease and protect buildings from termite infestations. Pesticides also keep the price of clothing and food down by eliminating predators that would destroy crops, raising the cost of things like corn and cotton.</em>

<h3>Positive Consequences : </h3>

The top benefit of pesticides is their effectiveness against pests that would otherwise decimate crops large and small. By controlling insects and rodents, pesticides prevent the spread of disease and protect buildings from termite infestations. Pesticides also keep the price of clothing and food down by eliminating predators that would destroy crops, raising the cost of things like corn and cotton. Even surgical instruments and operating rooms are disinfected with pesticides, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. By utilizing pesticides often, farmers are able to keep several pests at bay and even help eliminate several altogether. This has enabled them to grow diverse crops and coupled with fertilizer usage they are able to grow larger amount of food crops, within shorter periods of time.

<h3>Negative Consequences : </h3>

Pesticides have been linked with deleterious effects on human health and that of the environment. Children exposed to pesticides have increased rates of leukemia and brain cancer, and pregnant women with exposure have higher miscarriage rates, according to the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. Pesticides may also damage the lungs and nervous system. In nature, pesticides pollute the air, water and ground. As a result, plant and animal life may die or become sick and malformed. Pesticides can cause short-term adverse health effects, called acute effects, as well as chronic adverse effects that can occur months or years after exposure. Examples of acute health effects include stinging eyes, rashes, blisters, blindness, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and death.
