Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are drugs that kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered,

they seemed to represent a miracle cure for human diseases like pneumonia, typhoid, bubonic plague, and gonorrhea. Today there are resistant strains of bacteria that cannot be killed by antibiotics.
Can you pick out the statements that accurately describe the development of antibiotic resistance?

Antibiotic resistance is not an example of natural selection.
Mutations may be a source of variation in any population of bacteria.
When antibiotics are used at first, all the disease-causing bacteria are killed.
There is always variation in a population and might include resistant bacteria.
Bacteria that are not initially killed by the antibiotic, reproduce passing the resistance on to offspring.

Cool topic you're learning about. Antibiotic resistance occurs because of the fact that bacteria change in response to the use of medicaments, such as penicillin. The problem about antibiotic resistance, an international health crisis, is that people OVERDOSE in medicaments. Antibiotics are known to kill weak and sensitive bacteria, but some resistant bacteria grow and multiplicate, since they know how the medicament works.

Therefore, I would say that bacteria that are not initially killed by the antibiotic,  they go to reproduce passing the resistance on to offspring. Antibiotic resistance is a big example when it comes to natural selection.

Answer:

The development of sharper visual acuity.

Explanation:

At one week after birth, they can see red, orange, yellow and green. However, babies see red as the first primary color.

Many advances in vision development take place in months two and three. Infants develop sharper visual acuity during this period, and their eyes are beginning to move better as a team. A child should be following moving objects at this stage and starting to reach for things he sees.

The syntenic genes A and Z are linked. A cross between two parents, AAZZ and aazz, produces F1 progeny with the AaZz genotype. W
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az

Explanation:

The genotype of F1 progeny  is AaZz

The allele pair of gametes would contain one allele for characteristic represented by "A or a" and other allele for characteristic represented by Z or z"

Thus, total four allele pairs will be formed.

First allele pair would be - AZ

Second allele pair would be - Az

Third allele pair would be - aZ

Fourth allele pair would be - az

Hence, the possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az

What can wind and water erode?
makkiz [27]
If left untreated, excessiveerosion can lead to serious problems, such aswater sedimentation and ecosystem damage.Wind: Wind erodes the surface of a barren landmass in arid climates. Wind circulates and pushes particulates across wide bodies ofwater; a process known as deflation, which eventually leads toerosion.
