Answer:

c)These bacteria would be outcompeted and replaced by bacteria that have lost these genes.

Explanation:

The genetic traits that make the organisms better adapted to the prevailing conditions are favored by natural selection. These traits should increase their fitness in terms of survival and reproduction. On the other hand, the genetic traits which reduce the fitness of organisms are not favored. If these genetic traits are not required by organisms under the prevailing conditions, they are lost over generations.

If a bacterial species experiences reduced fitness due to the presence of antibiotic resistance genes, the bacteria without the gene would be increased in the population under the conditions of the absence of antibiotics in the environment.

Answer:

The mutation could cause serious damage in the replication process.

Explanation:

The TATA box is a DNA region that indicates the point where, processes like replication can begin. The mutation of this could cause that replication never begins, and therefore, protein synthesis is stopped. This severe complication would lead the cell to death in a short amount of time, for example.
