Answer:

The trait must make the individual more fit to survive. True

Explanation:

Darwin proposed that genetic variations are present in natural populations. Some genetic traits become beneficial under the changed environmental conditions. The organisms with these genetic traits are able to survive and reproduce better than the organisms that lack them. This results in an increased proportion of the beneficial genetic traits in the population over generations as the individuals having those traits reproduce more.

The presence of antibiotic resistance is a beneficial genetic trait that allows bacteria to survive in the presence of antibiotics. Natural selection favors the bacterial having antibiotic resistance and increases their proportions in the population over generations.

Which statement about abiotic changes to an ecosystem is true ?
Lena [83]
The very first one is the answer-

Abiotic changes have the ability to dictate biotic ones. This can be caused by humans.
For example: an abiotic thing can be an element like water. If the water in a lake gets poisoned by chemical compounds, this is an abiotic change. However, since the lake is now poisoned it’ll likely harm or even kill fish, bacteria, algae, and any other wildlife living within the lake. It doesn’t stop there though, without the lake surrounding animals won’t have clean water to drink, they can now die from either the poisoning, dehydration, or starvation if they lived off of the aquatic life from the lake.
