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.

Molodets [167]
They're considered to be human like hands. They have a thumb like humans which allows them to grip onto trees and maneuver better. It also helps them with their grip onto branches and trees because they rarely come down from up there, so they need to be able to grip tightly even a sleep. I would say it's natural selection due to evolution.

zysi [14]

Answer:

the plates of the lithosphere move (or float) on this hot, malleable s<u>emi liquid zone</u> in the upper mantle, directly underneath the <u>lithosphere</u>

Explanation:

  • Lithosphere is the outermost layer of earth surface which contains crust and uppermost solid mantle.
  • Tectonic plates are subdivision of lithosphere where tectonic activities take place. Tectonic activities often occur in Lithosphere which affects the structure of this layer by changing the landscape on earth surface.
  • The Lithosphere is the layer where soil forming process takes place.  The lithosphere influences temperature difference on earth when it reacts with the other layers called atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere.
