Explain how antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence that supports Darwin’s theory of evolution

Biology

mezya [45]3 years ago

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.

Describe what happens during prophase I and metaphase I and how these phases play an important role in the genetic diversity of
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Meiosis is the process of development of gamates in sexually reproducing organisms. Both males and females use meiosis to produce their gametes. In females the process of meiosis is called oogenesis as it produces oocytes which further develops into ova (eggs)  and in males spermatogenesis takes place to produce sperms. Meiosis takes place in the germ cells of the organism. Meiosis is also known as reduction division as a diploid cell reduce to develop 4 haploid daughter cells. Prophase I is the initial phase of meiosis. This phase has six substages, therefore it requires more time to complete especially in oogenesis.   During prophase I homologous chromosomes pair exchange their DNA this process results in chromosomal crossover. The new combination of DNA in the cross over chromosomes will be a source for genetic variations with production of new combination of allele. In metaphase I homologous pair of chromosome move together along a metaphase plate , microtubules emerge from the spindle and attach at the kinetochores near the centromere of each chromosomes. Microtubule from one side of the spindle attach to one of the chromosome in the homologous pair and that of other side attaches with other chromosome of each pair. Because of microtubules chromosome pair align at the metaphase plate (equator of the cell). The random alignment of chromosome pair at the equator plate will result in different proportion of transfer of genes from maternal and paternal chromosomes. This is the law of independent assortment, hence this will result in genetic diversity in the daughter cells.

Which phrases describe non-foliated rocks? Check all that apply.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: have randomly arranged grains

include quartzite and marble

form from crystallized magma

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that are modified by heat, pressure and chemical processes, that occurred on the rocks that are buried deep below the earth crust. The exposure of the rocks developing under the earth crust gets altered on the basis of the mineralogy, chemical composition of the rocks and the texture of the rocks.

The non- foliated rocks are type of metamorphic rocks, which are formed by the igenous intrusions. The minerals inside these rocks are formed by the crystallization of the magma, the atoms in these rocks are tightly packed, the external structure of the rocks do not show any kind of layering or band appearance. Therefore, the rocks exhibit randomly packed grains.

The examples of these rocks are hornfels, quartzite, marble and novaculite.

Mass extinctions in across North America and Australia coincide with human migration. With our understanding of populations, whi
Liula [17]

Answer:

Mass extinction occur when the environment is not favourable.

Explanation:

Mass extinctions occur on the earth when there is sudden change in the environmental conditions for an organisms that is not good for the survival of that particular organisms so they extinct from the earth surface. The example of mass extinctions are dinosaurs. These dinosaurs were extinct due to change in their environment that decreases the availability of food for them so due to no available food, the dinosaur extinct from the earth.
