Answer:

The correct option is D. Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when  exposure to drugs selectively kills sensitive cells, allowing overgrowth of resistant cells.

Explanation:

Drug- resistance can be described as a mechanism through which an organism can overcome the effect of a drug.

Usually, exposure of a drug again and again to a population of microbes will make the microbes resistant to that drug. The cells of the microbes undergo some change to overcome the effect of that particular drug.

A population of drug-resistant microbes might occur when the sensitive microbes get killed by the drug and resistant strains remain alive.

What effect did the capture of Vicksburg have upon the Confederacy?
Nina [5.8K]
The effect that the capture of Vicksburg had upon the confederacy was that the states west of Mississippi became completely isolated. The Mississippi valley states were no longer considered a great threat. This also opened the doors of invasion for the states that lied to the deep south. Vicksburg was an important place to capture in respect to its geographical position.
