A pathogenic strain of bacteria has become resistant to an antibiotic that once could kill it. What has happened to these bacter

ia to make this happen?
-Most of the bacteria make changes to their DNA to protect themselves, making themselves immune to future attacks.
-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.
-Some of the bacterial cells were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, making them more likely to survive.
-The bacterial cells learned to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces.

The answer is <span>-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

Bacteria (or any other organism) are not able to make changes to their DNA in order to protect themselves or to learn to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces. If they were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, they would all survive.
These leave the second choice as the correct answer. This is the real situation, and is a good example of natural selection.</span>

Mutation is a random and non-adaptive process. This was first proven by:
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden, heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of the organism. Mutation may occur due to the errors in DNA replication or may occurs due to the mutagens.

Joshua and Lederberg experiment explains that mutation is the non adaptive and random process that occur in the organism. He used the replica plating of E.coli and grows them on streptomycin drug. The bacteria was grown on the the primary plate and they are transferred to the secondary plate with streptomycin drug in the growth environment. The resistant strain of bacteria grows in the streptomycin environment.The pattern of bacteria growth on the plate explained that mutation occurs randomly and it is a non adaptive process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

What is a non-native species?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

on-native species can become such a common part of an environment, culture, and even diet that little thought is given to their geographic origin. For example, soybeans, kiwi fruit, wheat, honey bees, and all livestock except the American bison and the turkey are non-native species to North America.

The answers are shown below:
In part A: 
            coefficient = 20
             variable = c
             constant = 35 & 23.50
In part B: 
           savings = 20 (3) +23.5+ 35+35+35 +35 +35 +35+35+35+35+35+35+35
           savings = $ 503.5
In part C:
            the new expression will be: 25c + 35 + 23.5
