Answer;

-Antibiotic resistance.

Explanation;

-Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotic.

-Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population.  Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange.

-Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; 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.

What is similar about the way petroleum and coal form? What is different?
umka21 [38]
The similarity between petroleum and coal is that they are both fossil fuels, which means they are formed from dead organic matter. the different between them is that coal contains carbon in its pure form, while petroleum and natural gas are hydrocarbons formed during the decaying process. Also coal is the remain of trees, ferns, and other plants that lived million of years ago while petroleum is the remains of millions of tiny plants and animals that lived in the sea.
