When a bacterial infection is treated with an antibiotic, the hope is that the antibiotic will kill all of the bacteria and prev

ent them from reproducing. However, if the full prescription of antibiotics is not taken by the sick person, some of the more resistant bacteria can survive. When they reproduce, these bacteria can pass the genes responsible for their resistance on to their offspring. As a result, subsequent administration of the same antibiotic will be less and less effective over time.

This is natural selection. If a random mutation/variation occurs and a bacteria is now resistant to antibiotics, then this is a favorable gene that promotes survival in its environment. This gene will be passed on to offspring through mitosis/binary fission or even conjugation and those bacteria will also be resistant. Eventually all non resistant bacteria will be gone or their numbers will be greatly reduced and only resistant bacteria will survive to reproduce.

Example of FAST moving carbon.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The fast carbon cycle is largely the movement of carbon through life forms on Earth, or the biosphere. ... During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel—glucose and other sugars—for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle.

What is a sex linked trait? What is the difference in inheritance between boys and girls for sex linked traits? Describe an exam
Romashka [77]
A sex-linked trait is a trait that is carried by the X chromosomes in females but it is not expressed(the phenotype). Females are only carriers because they have two copies of the X chromosome [one of them carries the trait and the other does not]. Males who inherit one copy of the X chromosome often get the trait (because the trait is in either one copy or the other of the X chromosome) and express it while their Y chromosome would became recessive. Thus, only males express sex-linked traits such as hemophilia or color blindness
