The incorrect statement about the nitrogen cycle is option A: nitrate and nitrite reductases in denitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrogen gas.

The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is changed into ammonia, and the nitrogen-fixing bacteria are known as diazotrophs. Fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification are significant nitrogen cycle processes. Ammonia is converted to nitrites and then to nitrates which are absorbed by plants with the help of their roots. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

Through bacteria that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, nitrogen enters the living world. Soil bacteria convert this nitrogen and nitrogenous animal waste back into gaseous nitrogen, supplying the organic nitrogen required by terrestrial food webs.

The bacteria which had mutation became resistant to the antibiotic and survived and keeps on increasing, promoting natural selection.

Explanation:

The bacteria rapidly divide, the chances of mutation in the gene increases manifold.

The strains of bacteria causing tuberculosis and staph infection got mutated at DNA level such that they became resistant to antibiotics when tested those susceptible did not survive. These mutations were not harmful to bacteria and the resultant bacteria survived.

These bacteria which survived and proliferated as the environment was in their favour.

Thus, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is acceptable here as it says if a mutation is occurring towards the increase in population, they will be selected ones.

Biologists recognize five levels of cell organization. The lowest and simplest is the cellular level. Organisms here are either unicellular organisms, like protozoa, or colonial organisms. Colonial organisms are composed of single-celled individuals that stay together to sustain the life of the whole colony. Next on the scale of complexity is the level occupied by tissue. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a similar activity. Tissues that are organized around a common function together make up an organ, the third level of complexity. The fourth level of organization is the system, formed by a group of organs that together perform a specific bodily process. The fifth and highest level is the organism level, in which body systems work together in a structure capable of independent life.
