Answer and Explanation:

Some pathogens and pests usually survive and reproduce even when they are exposed to the antibiotics and pesticides repeatedly. These instances show that within the population soe individuals possess the gene for resistance or acquire it through mutation hence survives the chemical. Those that survive transmit this characteristic to their offsprings thus establishing a new population of resistant forms.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence that supports Darwin’s theory of evolution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Darwin’s theory of evolution mentions about the theory of natural selection by which the nature selects the fittest individuals. It is always the survival of the fittest that takes place in any ecosystem. If there is an external pressure or threat , the organisms that have evolved to overcome this only gets the chance of survival.

Antibiotic resistance that some bacteria show is an example of natural selection. In the initial periods many bacteria would have died out due to the action of antibiotics. In the process of evolution a mutation might have occurred that confers the bacteria resistance to antibiotics.

The process of natural selection allows the bacteria with this mutation offering antibiotic resistance to survive. Since this is a mutation ensuring survival the mutant gene would have been passed over generation producing a species of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con
algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.

Arlecino [84]
I’m not sure that your choices are because it says select all that apply but I would tell the mother to stop giving the baby cows milk. The baby needs more iron which is in breast milk or formula if not she can become anemic and cows milk is not easy to digest for babies.
