<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Various sanitation practices changed as a result of germ theory of disease. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Germ theory states that germs are the causative organisms of various diseases.</em> Germs include several microbes like bacteria, fungi, virus, protozoa etc. These microbes invade the host body and multiply inside the host body.  

Prior to germ theory there were several other theories like the miasma theory but the discovery of microbes proved them to be  false. <em>Germ theory brought several changes in sanitation practices and thus has several applications. </em>

John snow an English physician who studied cholera suggested that the <em>transmission was through water contaminated by the faecal matter of infected people. </em>

This discovery gave the idea that sanitation practices have to be improved. The disinfection of surgical instruments is also an improvement that was made in <em>sanitary practices after the formation and acceptance of germ theory.  </em>

An example of a population in which evolution could
Snezhnost [94]

An example of a population in which evolution could  take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment.  This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.

When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.
