The genes to be resistant to an antibiotic already exist in the bacteria's genes.  Those whose phenotypes are resistant to the antibiotic will survive the antibiotic which kills the other non-antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  The surviving bacteria will then asexually reproduce, producing more antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Look at the data tables below. Which would most likely produce a nonlinear graph? 
lora16 [44]
Table 3

A linear graph is one where there is a steady change in the value on the y-axis with a steady change in the value on the x-axis. The first table will produce a positive sloped straight line that has an increase of 5 in the value of distance with each increment in the time value.
Table 2 will produce a graph where there is a decrease of 2 in the value of distance with an increase in the value of time.
Table 4 will produce a graph where the line is horizontal; the y-value does not change with time.

Table 3 has a graph which has to move up and down to accommodate the decreasing and increasing values, so it will be non-linear.

How can water intake affect the volume and concentration of urine?
Alchen [17]
More water means more pee (theoretically). Pee is actually just garbage materials from the body (toxins). These color the urine. The more you drink, the more you have to pee and just pee clean because all toxins are out, or you have more water to take out the toxins, having less of it per let's say 0.5 l

Bio questions about Biotechnology. (2)
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded into wells indentations at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode. Really easy
