Evolutionary changes of antibiotic resistant bacteria increase the ability of a species to survive and reproduce under any circumstances (True or false) give explaination for answer?
describe the modern theory of evoluton and discuss how it is supported by evidence from two of the following three areas
a.population genetics
b.molecular biology
c.comparative anatomy and embryology
evolution is one of the major unifying concepts of modern biology.explain the mechanism that lead to evolutionary change.describe how scientists use each of the following as evidence fornevolution

b.comparative biochemistry
c.the fossil records
. You are discussing the choice of the "oil-eating" bacteria that you will use to clean the
affected area from the oil spill and your team wants to know whether the Kalba sea
constitutes a natural habitat for these bacteria.
Formulate a hypothesis stating why or why not the Kalba sea area can be considered
a natural habitat for such bacteria. Support your answer by discussing the role of
evolution in contributing to the survival and thriving of “oil-eating" bacteria. Explain
how and why these bacteria acquired these characteristics.

- Mutations cause variations among individuals. If these variations provide an advantage to individuals, then the resulting traits are known as adaptations. Which of the following statements about adaptations is incorrect? A. They are structural or physiological in nature. B. They modify the behaviour of organisms. C. They provide a selective advantage in any environment. D .They increase reproductive success of organisms.arrow_forwardThe spread of antibiotic resistance genes is an example of evolution. Explain how this is evolution using the framework of natural selection. Make sure you include what genes are evolving and what is the selective agent or selective pressure.arrow_forwardA bacterial species that becomes resistant to certain antibiotics mayhave acquired the resistance genes from another bacterial species. Thephenomenon of acquiring genes from another organism without beingthe offspring of that organism is known asa. hybridization.b. integration.c. horizontal gene transfer.d. vertical gene transfer.e. competence.arrow_forward
- How is an anatomical adaptation defined? A. a system present within the organism that allows it to perform a biochemical reaction B. a feature of the organism's body that helps it survive and reproduce C. a response from the organism that changes it's behavior to help it survive and reproduce ©2003-2022 International Academy of Science.

They occur to cause adaptive changes in response to the environment.b. They are usually either harmful or neutral.c. They are only inherited if they occur in a sperm or egg cell.d. They often occur when DNA is copied.arrow_forwardAs people use more of an antibiotic, the number of bacteria that are resistant to that antibiotic increase. Which statement describes a mechanism behind this trend? (A.) People’s bodies become more resistant to antibiotics after exposure to them (B.) Antibiotic molecules get weaker over time due to natural selection (C.) The antibiotic kills sensitive bacteria, and any bacteria resistant to it multiply to take their place (D.) Bacteria take up antibiotics and integrate them into their own DNAarrow_forward

- Consider that you are a civilian resident living on the Chatham Island in New Zealand where a long-finned pilot whale stranding event with 100 beached whales is happening and maybe have even been participating in the response to the strandings. Raise specific questions that you may have for the local government or researchers about the stranding. Argue for an alternate hypothesis as to why the event occurred. Use and fully cite in-text peer-reviewed journals and government organizations, to support all data.
