Using the theory of natural selection, what is antibiotic resistance

Biology
1 answer:
ddd [48]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is when pathogens such as bacteria or fungi develop a resistance to antibiotics. This happens when some pathogens die, and others survive. The small number of pathogens that had a resistance to the antibiotic will reproduce more offspring that are also resistant to, and those offspring will reproduce even more offspring and so on. Eventually most pathogens will be resistant to the antibiotic, so antibiotics won't work.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

indeterminate

Explanation:

The answer would be <u>an indeterminate number of generations.</u>

The blue trait is a heterozygous trait. In other words, the blue allele does not really exist. Two different alleles team up to produce the trait, whereas, only two the same allelic conditions can produce a true-breeding flock.

<em>Hence, it will take an indeterminate number of generations to produce a true-breeding flock of the Blue Andalusions.</em>

3 key factors of Charles Darwin's Theory of natural selection
cricket20 [7]
Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. The term "natural selection" was popularised by Charles Darwin who compared it with artificial selection, now more commonly referred to as selective breeding.

In incomplete dominance what?
Arturiano [62]
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.
