How does the growth of antibiotic resistance in bacteria support the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Nana76 [90]4 years ago

Wow that's a good one :). Think about it like this. When you put antibiotics in place where bacterias live, probably most of them will die, however there might be "some" who are resistent to the antibiotic by their nature, (mutations etc.) so among the bacterias which were exposed the antibiotics those resistent ones will survive. And bacterias have a system for exchanging DNA to make each other more resistant, its called "conjugation" look it up. By conjugation they give each other genes which will help them survive. So if we summarize, those who are already resistant survive (which is a cause of natural selection in an environment of antibiotics) and help others resistant too.

How does adaptation fit into Darwin's theory of evolution
mario62 [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation. So, with a process called <em>Natural</em><em> </em><em>Selec</em><em>tion</em>, the species who adapts better to their environment survive for more time, until the environment change or until appear another species better to adapt than the first one

Plsssss help rn and pls don’t guess.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Punnett Squares are unable to predict the offspring of an asexual organism because there is only one parent from which the offspring can receive genes from. The whole point of a Punnett Square is the fact that it covers all possible  offspring outcomes besides mutations from the usual two parents.
