Penicillins are a group of antibiotics, so penicillin is able to kill bacteria. Still, some bacteria produce a chemical to be resistant to penicillin, which mean that those bacteria can survive exposure to penicillin.

If one of those bacteria reproduce asexually, its reproduction depends only on itself, and the offspring will be identical to the parent, becaus in asexual reproduction there is no combination of gametes to form a different offspring.

So the offspring will have the same ability as the parent, being able to survive exposure to penicillin.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. Survive exposure to penicillin.

A red-tailed hawk swoops down and captures a young rabbit feeding on dandelions growing in a park. the relationship between the
Rudiy27
The hawk, a carnivore (animal meat-eater), is predating on the rabbit, an herbivore (plant-eater). So the hawk can be seen as the predator and the rabbit as the prey.
But another type of relationship important in Ecology is consumers. So producers are the plants that feed a food web. That makes the rabbits the primary consumers (herbivores) of these plants. Then the hawks become the secondary consumers (carnivores) of the primary consumers, by eating the herbivores.
Hope that this makes sense!
