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.

1. right-handed

2. right-handed

3. positive

4. left-handed

5. negative

6. negative

Explanation:

In a circular bacterial chromosome, the structure of DNA is a right-handed double helix In a circular bacterial chromosome.

If DNA is twisted in the right-handed direction, it becomes overwound. Overwinding results in positive supercoiling takes place. If DNA is twisted in the left handd direction, it becomes underwound. Underwinding results in negative supercoiling.

f. One effect  negative supercoiling in bacterial chromosomes is to promote separation of the two strands of DNA in the double helix
