How do mutations and natural selection lead to resistant populations of bacteria

Biology
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Mutations are one way for bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. Some spontaneous mutations (or genes that have been acquired from other bacteria through horizontal gene transfer) may make the bacterium resistant to an antibiotic (See: Resistance mechanisms for information about how bacteria resist antibiotic action). If we were to treat the bacterial population with that specific antibiotic, only the resistant bacteria will be able to multiply; the antibiotic selects for them. These bacteria can now increase in numbers and the end result is a population of mainly resistant bacteria.

How has earths atmosphere changed over time

Answer:

Hey mate....

Explanation:

This is ur answer.....

<em>When earth was first formed, its atmosphere was likely composed of hydrogen, helium, and other gases that contained hydrogen. Over a vast amount of time, millions of years, the earth gradually cooled. When the temperature dropped enough, water vapor condensed and went from a gas to liquid form. This created clouds.</em>
