Summary Introduction

To determine:

The role of natural selection in the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

Introduction:

Natural selection theory is given by Darwin. It involves the selection of organisms on the basis of their phenotypic characters. Organisms who can survive in any changing habitat and produce offspring in a changing habitat are considered as part of the survival of the fittest theory. Natural selection brings evolution as it causes variations among the individuals and that variation is inherited from their parents. It also leads to cause overproduction of the offspring, such as some organisms produce more offspring than the others due to the presence of variations.
