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.

Which of the following can result in speciation from bio geographic isolation
kozerog [31]

The effect of geographic isolation is that the two populations are subjected to different selection (pressures) and geographic conditions. The conditions in the two areas, if different, will produce different alleles in that species and will be selected for, where genetic differences will gradually accumulate between the two different populations.

In time, enough genetic differences will occur so that the two populations will no longer interbreed. Then, by definition, they have become different species.

Imagen you are a Student in 1856 visiting Charles Darwin in his garden. Write a letter to a friend describing natural selection
pashok25 [27]

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It provides a viable explanation for adaptation and speciation as it explains the change in heritable traits characteristic of a population over time.  Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. Natural selection can change a species in small ways, causing a population to change color or size over the course of several generations. Given enough time and enough accumulated changes, natural selection can create entirely new species. It can turn dinosaurs into birds, amphibious mammals into whales and the ancestors of apes into humans.
