The bacteria which had mutation became resistant to the antibiotic and survived and keeps on increasing, promoting natural selection.

Explanation:

The bacteria rapidly divide, the chances of mutation in the gene increases manifold.

The strains of bacteria causing tuberculosis and staph infection got mutated at DNA level such that they became resistant to antibiotics when tested those susceptible did not survive. These mutations were not harmful to bacteria and the resultant bacteria survived.

These bacteria which survived and proliferated as the environment was in their favour.

Thus, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is acceptable here as it says if a mutation is occurring towards the increase in population, they will be selected ones.

D. Species with an odd number of chromosome sets (triploid and pentaploid) would be infertile.

E. Aneuploid individuals (monosomic and trisomic) would have reduced fertility.

Explanation - Chromosomes generally happens to occur in the set of two. Organism that have more than two sets of chromosome are called polyploids. Polyploids that have odd or uneven count of sets of chromosome are sterile or fully infertile.

Example - triploid (3n), pentaploid (5n) because their gametes and offsprings are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is addition of entire chromosome to the already existing normal set of chromosome. Aneuploids are unable to produce viable offspring because their fertility got decreased as the zygote formed after the fertilization itself is aneuploid.

Radioactive parent elements will become stable daughter elements through the process of

skad [1K]

The stabilization of a radioactive parent element into a stable daughter element occurs through the process of radioactive decay. The unstable atomic parent emits radiation and loses its energy. This leads to the formation of a daughter element, which is less radioactive or is stable.
