Which process best explains how antibiotic resistance in bacteria can occur?

Biology
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

The rate of a physical or chemical process

Answer:

(A) rate=

Explanation:

The rate of chemical is a measure of the speed of a chemical reaction.

The measurement of the reaction rate is based on the disappearance of a reactant or appearance of a product with increasing reaction time.

Reaction rate is usually expressed in terms of a change in concentration of the chosen reactant or product per unit of time.

During a reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time while that of a product increases exponentially with time.

Reaction rate  = \frac{change  in concentration of a reactant/product}{Time taken}

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.
