Which of the following options best describes the process of selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the presence of an antibiotic?    Antibiotic resistance occurs when the human body resists an antibiotic; the bacteria are not under selective pressure    In the presence of antibiotics, most bacterial cells react by becoming resistant before they start dividing again   Antibiotic-resistant cells are naturally stronger, so they always take over in the presence of antibiotic-sensitive cells    Antibiotics kill off sensitive cells, while resistant bacteria survive and multiply

Prokaryotic evolution

The term evolution means the gradual change or a transformation from a simple or primitive state to a complex or advanced state. Prokaryotic evolution is a concept that involves the evolution of the form and function of most primitive organisms (prokaryotes) through several stages and changes to form diverse life as a part of organic evolution.
