Answer:

Bacteria with antibiotic resistance gene/s are favored by natural selection.  

Explanation:

The presence of one or more antibiotic resistance genes in the bacteria becomes an adaptive trait in the presence of antibiotics in the surroundings. These bacteria have higher chances of survival and reproduce more to produce more progeny as compared to the bacteria that lack any antibiotic resistance gene. Therefore, the frequency of antibiotic-resistant genes in the population increases over the generations. Here, the increased fitness of bacteria having antibiotic resistance gene/s in the presence of antibiotics represents a natural selection.

Blood plasma is filtered in the __________.
ziro4ka [17]

The Kidneys.

The plasma passes through the kidney where it is filtered, a special filtration unit called "glomeruli" and then excreted as a low molecular weighted product into the urine. The purpose of our urine is to secrete waste products from the body. So you can see how the glomerular filtration mechanism of the kidneys plays a major role in the function of our bodies. The primary function of our kidneys is to filter out all the "bad stuff" in lamest terms.
