"A person who is infected with the bacteria MM294 is instructed by a doctor to take the antibiotic used in this experiment for t
en days. The individual takes the antibiotic for only three days and then stops taking the antibiotic because he is feeling better. How does this example demonstrate how a population of bacteria can change over time?"
The correct answer is - develop resistance for the antibiotic.
Explanation:
Antibiotics are the drug that are used to remove or kill the bacteria population present in an infected person or organism. However the courses of the antibiotic treatment is very crucial as incomplete treatment may result in the antibiotic population to be `more strong and develop better resistance to the antibiotic.
Exposure to the antibiotic causes the ability in bacterial population to fight with an individual if the course of treatment is not completed.
Thus, the correct answer is - develop resistance for the antibiotic.
