Answer:

Natural selection will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year.

Explanation:

Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype.  Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.

Natural selection is the result between the individual phenotype and the environment that determines the destiny of genes. It is the differential capability of individuals to leave offspring.

Aptitude (or fitness) is the phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring. Aptitude must be significant to the natural selection act in its favor.  

Natural selection, eventually, will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year. These animals have more chances of leaving fertile descendants that will be able to grow, develop, survive, and reproduce. They have a higher aptitude than those individuals that only have four fawns during their lifetimes. These animals have fewer probabilities of leaving survival descendants able to reproduce.

Answer:

Antibiotics save lives but any time antibiotics are used, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance.

Since the 1940s, antibiotics have greatly reduced illness and death from infectious diseases. However, as we use the drugs, germs develop defense strategies against them. This makes the drugs less effective.
