PLEASE ANSWER.   E. coli is a species of bacteria that causes many different infections in humans. Certain E. coli strains have

developed resistance to antibiotics, making infections with these strains difficult to treat. How do bacteria such as E. coli, which reproduce asexually, gain new traits such as antibiotic resistance?
A.

by undergoing spontaneous mutations when they replicate, which increases genetic variation in a population

B.

by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits

C.

by adapting to changes in environmental conditions without undergoing changes in their DNA

D.

by producing offspring with new gene assortments from genetic recombination, which increases diversity in a population

Answer: The correct answer is-

B.  by mutating their DNA in response to environmental conditions to gain beneficial traits.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria means the bacteria is not susceptible to the antibiotic that is the effectiveness of antibiotic against the bacteria is eliminated or reduced.

It occurs when bacteria undergoes mutation that is alteration in the genetic material ( for instance, in one mechanism of resistance, mutation changes the protein that was earlier target for the antibiotic).

Therefore, by mutating the DNA in response to environmental condition ( such as exposure to antibiotic in this condition), bacteria gains beneficial characters and become resistant.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Answer: It shows the evolution of mutations. Throughout the lifetime of animals and humans depending on their way of life and how they life it they will slowly mutate into a different animal to be able to life that way..

Explanation: Example- Whales use to have legs and walked around the earth. But also loved to swim and play in water. Over time they began to adapt and mutate into what we know f whales now. With no legs, they have large fins to help them swim in the oceans.
