Answer:

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population. Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange.

Refer to Infographic below. On the Galápagos Islands, the finches that Darwin studied tended to have either small beaks or large

Answer:

Disruptive selection

Explanation:

According to the infographic that is attached below showing different the three main types of selection that occurs as a result of natural selection taking its course on any population, we can draw our conclusion regarding the information given to us from the question.

From the question above, it states that the finches studied by Darwin are majorly finches with either small beak or large beak which are all adapted to suit the type of food available for the finches in the islands. Whereas, finches with intermediate beaks are favored against.

According to the infographic, disruptive selection can be said to have taken place as extreme traits are favored against intermediate traits on the islands.
