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.

3. What is the relationship between S- and P-waves?
Ludmilka [50]
3. p waves travel faster than s waves, and are the first waves recorded by a seismograph in the event of a disturbance. p waves travel at speeds between 1 and 14 km per second, while s waves travel significantly slower, between 1 and 8 km per second.
4. seismic waves, the waves of energy that travel through earth as a result of an earthquake can tell us a lot about the internal structure of the earth because the waves travel at different speeds in different materials. there are two types of waves that travel through the earth: p waves and s waves.
