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.

During dna replication two extra guanine bases are added to the dna. what type of mutation is this
Alex777 [14]
Based on the above information, the mutation type is frameshift mutation. 


It is a genetic mutation caused by indels of various nucleotides in a DNA succession that is not detachable by three. The additions and erasures cause an adjustment in the length of a quality, which causes a movement in the codon perusing outline. A frameshift mutation happens when a protein is radically modified as a result of an addition or an erasure. Tay-Sachs illness is a human issue caused by a frameshift change.
