Answer:

The correct answer would be - "bacterial populations evolve in response to the selection pressure imposed by antibiotics".

Explanation:

The given information provided in the question about the bacterial infection supports the hypothesis that the bacterial population shows the evolution in response to the selection pressure caused by the antibiotics due to the fact that bacteria increased resistance gradually with time. This resistance towards antibiotics increased the percentage of bacterially infected children in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In this case, the population of bacteria having resistance genes is selected to evolved selected to increase their offsprings.

If a huge bear were chasing you its enormous mass would be very threatening. but if you ran in a zigzag pattern, the bears mass
saul85 [17]

The bear, even though it is a very heavy and bulky animal, it can run pretty fast, and can easily outrun a human, but this is while running straight or when making gradual turns. The situation changes if the human starts running in a zigzag pattern. The human is much lighter, quick acceleration, long thin legs, and is much more agile, which will all be its advantage because in this kind of a chase the agility and acceleration are crucial. The bear on the other hand, will find it very difficult because its weight will disable it to make quick turns, it has a slow acceleration, and is not agile. So a human with a solid amount of stamina with using this tactic has a pretty good chances of escaping a charging bear.
