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.

Heterozygote advantage refers to the tendency for heterozygous individuals to have better fitness than homozygous individuals. T

ddd [48]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in the sequence of DNA in the individuals of a population and a heterozygote has more genetic variation that homozygote person because heterozygote has two different alleles of a gene while homozygous individual have two same alleles.

Heterozygotes have advantage over homozygotes because it protects the individual from many genetical diseases and increase the genetic variation by increasing the gene pool in the population. So higher fitness results in more genetic variation in the population therefore the statement is false.
