Answer:

<h2>Antibiotic resistance had become very common now a days. People develop antibiotic resistance if they do not take antibiotics according to the prescription by the physician. </h2>

Explanation:

a. Actually the statement given by the friend is absolutely correct. The person has developed a resistance against the antibiotic he had taken to treat the strep throat. The infection has redeveloped and when he had the same antibiotic for strep throat it will become ineffective.

b. This happens because he had stopped taken the complete course of the antibiotic as prescribed by the doctor. If the bacteria changes its shape or removes the effectiveness of the particular antibiotic, resistance develops. The infection has redeveloped may be due to any change in the bacteria or ineffectiveness of the particular drug.

Answer:

they can make the organism better suited to the environment.

Explanation:

often when an organisms environment changes, the organism will change with it in order to survive...it's the survival of the fittest theory...you either adapt to your changing environment or the species will die off. this is shown in the way that different species of birds have differently shaped beaks based on the types of seeds and flowers available for them to eat. some eat big seeds and some eat small ones ...the humming bird has a certain flower it collects nectar from as food....when the flower gets larger, making the near further down and harder to reach, the humming birds beak will become slightly longer over a few generations making the better equipped to reach the nectar again ....
