Answer:

4.both beneficial and harmful

Explanation:

Mutations that occur in bacteria that make them immune to antibiotic action can be a beneficial or harmful mutation, it depends on whether you are referring to the bacteria or to humans.

The mutation is beneficial to the bacterium because with the mutation it becomes immune to the antibiotic reaction, achieves resistance and becomes an "unbeatable" bacterium, so the mutation has a huge benefit for the bacterium because it allows it to survive and continue its life. metabolism normally.  

On the other hand, this mutation is extremely harmful to humans, because the antibiotic is what we have to fight bacteria and get rid of infections that can cause us many problems. For this reason, the mutation that makes bacteria resistant to antibiotics is highly harmful to humans.

The strength of an atom's attraction for the electrons in a chemical bond is the atom's?
Mazyrski [523]

<span><span>Yes. An element that is highly electronegative pulls more on the electrons in a bond, such as oxygen in H20. This creates a polar bond, where there is a small negative charge on the oxygen, and a small positive charge in between the hydrogens.
