c. Resistant bacteria have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than nonresistant bacteria

Explanation:

The antibiotic is no longer effective as it was 20 years ago because the resistant bacterial have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than the non-resistant bacteria.

  • The antibiotics have specifically designed to exterminate the disease causing bacteria strain from the body.
  • While at that point in time, it is potent and does the work. Along the line, it will cause the structures of some other strains to change.
  • This will lead to the development of resistant breeds with time.
  • The resistant breed will then be able to survive the onslaught of the antibiotics making it not a good fit.

* Describe at what point in the cell cycle cells begin to divide uncontrollably.
Butoxors [25]

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury. Different cells grow and die at different rates. Some cells, such as epithelial<span>epithelialA thin layer of epithelial cells that makes up the outer surfaces of the body (the skin) and lines hollow organs, glands and all passages of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems.</span> cells, reproduce quickly. Other cells, like nerve cells, grow slowly. Both normal cells and cancer cells go through a sequence of steps, or phases, when they form new cells. This is called the cell cycle.
