Answer:

The correct answer is - B.directional selection.

Explanation:

When a bacterial colony is exposed to an antibiotic the maximum number of the bacteria dies due to noo resistane and some of survive even with no or very less resistance to the antibiotic and reproduce.

Over many generations  the survived and continuosuly divivng resitant bacteria become more and more with higher frequency and ultimately evolved to a resistance strain of the bacteria for the antibiotic. Such mutation is directional selection as the frequency of the resistance bacteria going from no resistance to a high amount of resistance is unidirectional and progresive.

Three cells each contain a 98% water wash were soaked in different solutions cell number one is so funny solution containing 100
stepladder [879]

Answer: Cell number one is an hypotonic solution, cell number two is an isotonic solution, and cell three is an hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

Cell number one which is a 98% water content is added the 100% water solution, water moves from low to high concentration. Therefore, the water moves from the solution into the cell, which is hypotonic.

Cell number two which is a 98% water content added with a 98% water solution. These two solutions are equal to one another, so the water does not move. This is isotonic.

Cell number three which is a 98% water content added with a 80% water solution. Water moves from high to low concentrations, so water moves from the cell to the solution. The water leaves the cell, which is an hypertonic.
