Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control bacterial growth. In other words, th

e bacteria are “resistant” and continue to multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of antibiotic. Which statement best explains this natural phenomenon in terms of Darwin’s theory of natural selection.
A. The antibiotics caused certain groups of bacteria to suddenly start producing enzymes that destroyed the antibiotic before it could harm the bacteria.

B. When an antibiotic is used, bacteria that have a natural variation for resistance to the antibiotic have a greater chance of survival.

C. Although susceptible bacteria are killed or inhibited by an antibiotic, any offspring they produced before they died will be resistant to the antibiotic.

D. The need to adapt or die caused some bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotic. This acquired resistance was passed into the future bacteria populations making them resistant.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. When an antibiotic is used, bacteria that have a natural variation for resistance to the antibiotic have a greater chance of survival.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection.

The antibiotic action is an example of environmental pressure to bacteria, therefore; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce.

They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

Tamiku [17]
D. Combination of exercises which the client can enjoy and likes.

For most people, exercise is a taxing. It’s a lot of hard work and sometimes the kind of exercise to be done makes it even harder to do. That’s why it is very important for a workout to be a combination of exercises that a person likes or enjoys. This may involve plenty of trial and error. However, most people already have a hobby or a certain activity that they like to do. To make an exercise or workout effective, it would be best to tap into their interests.

For glycolysis to produce ATP when no oxygen is present, it is necessary for cells to convert _____ to _____.
ivann1987 [24]
The answer is D. NADH to NAD+

When no oxygen is present, anaerobic respiration occurs.It is the only way to produce ATP in this condition.NAD+ is necessary because it is converted into NADH and at the same time ADP is converted to ATP in the reaction of pyruvate synthesis from glucose.Therefore, NADH must be converted to NAD+ in order to have NAD+ always present in the cell.
