<u>Answer</u>: option B through mutation

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Antibiotic resistance is the phenomena in which the bacteria becomes reistance to a given antibiotic and is no longer killed or harmed by it.
  • Bacteria unlike humand divide rapidly and increase in large number. However, each time it divides it has to replicate its genetic material. In the process of replication there is always a chance of introducing an error which is called as a <em>mutation</em>.
  • The mutation that occurs in a bacteria can either ber advantageous or disadvantageous. However, amongst the various type of mutations that arise in the bacteria if a particular mutation is conferring resistance to an antibiotic then in such case the bacteris gets selected by natural selection.
  • The bacteria having acquired thr resistance is then able to produce more of its progenies with the same antibiotic resistance and thus, this is how the resistance gets propagated.

So, firstly the <em>mutation</em> is the one which gives rise to the resistance which is then spread among the bacterial population by the process of reproduction as well horizontal gene transfer.

nadezda [96]

Answer:Wildebeest are considered keystone species because their presence has myriad effects on the ecosystem, unlike those of any other species. Wildebeest are the "lawnmowers" of the Serengeti grassland. They keep grass short which in turn reduces the frequency of fires.

What parts of atoms are responsible for how they interact with other atoms
weqwewe [10]
The correct answer is outer electrons. These are sometimes called 'valence electrons', and they are responsible for the element's properties and how it forms bonds. For example, elements in Column 2 are likely to form ionic bonds with elements in Column 16. This is because elements in Column 2 have 2 outer electrons, while elements in Column 16 have 6 outer electrons. If the element in Column 2 gives its 2 electrons to the element in Column 16, then the former will be stable because the energy level underneath will be complete, and the latter will be stable because it will have a complete outer energy level with 8 electrons.

Hope this helps!
