What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

7 0

1.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.

2. Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.

3.Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance

4. Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.

Por qué se dice: ""Lo que le sucede a un individuo tiene su origen en una célula""

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Esto es cierto porque una célula se define como la unidad básica, estructural y funcional de todas las formas de vida. La célula podría ser simple o compleja y contiene la información más importante sobre el individuo conocido como su ácido nucleico. El DNA controla la composición genética y física del individuo, coordina su comportamiento y garantiza que se adapte a lo largo de su vida. Esto hace que la célula sea crucial para la vida de un individuo. Los atributos físicos en el individuo, como la altura y el color de la piel, son controlados por la célula, mientras que también controlan los atributos genéticos, como el genotipo y el grupo sanguíneo.
