Answer:

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

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.

Compare the organisms in the table. what plantlike characteristic does a methanogen share with organisms in the kingdom plantae?
ikadub [295]
Plantlike and methanogen organisms share som similar characteristics, for instance, can both produce their own and can process their made food into energy for different cellular processes such as cell division, repair and maintenance.

Despite this similarity though, the difference lies with the source of energy that get to produce the food. Plantlike organisms use sunlight and UV rays to photosynthesize. Whereas, methanogens use methane where sunlight is not present.
