The correct option is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.

Answer:

The correct answer is- mutation to the DNA sequence

Explanation:

A change in the DNA sequence by base-pair addition, deletion or substitution or by any other way bring mutation in the DNA. In bacteria, random mutation occurs in their DNA sequence which can change the codon sequence and results in coding for some enzymes or protein that deplete the effect of antibiotics on them which provide antibiotic resistance to the them.  

So by doing mutation in their DNA sequence bacteria can gain antibiotic resistance or the bacteria which already have the appropriate mutation in their DNA will be selected by natural selection and other bacteria will die due to antibiotic effect.  

Therefore genetic modification is caused by mutation in the genetic sequence.

What are the names of the sugars that form the main part of their nucleotides​
Monica [59]

Explanation:

Nucleotides are organic molecules consisting of a nucleoside and a phosphate. They serve as monomeric units of the nucleic acid polymers – deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth. Nucleotides are obtained in the diet and are also synthesized from common nutrients by the liver.

Nucleotides are composed of three subunit molecules: a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group consisting of one to three phosphates. The four nucleobases in DNA are guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine; in RNA, uracil is used in place of thymine.

If the population returns to its pre-disturbance size, genetic variation is generally ____________ than in the original populati
Maurinko [17]
The answer is lower because having to return to a pre disturbance size will likely affect its genetic variation to be lower compared to the original population where in its genetic variation will be greater compared to those in pre disturbance size.
