Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes how natural selection results in bacteria that are antibiotic resistant?

• When you take an antibiotic when you're sick, a few bacteria survive. These bacteria happen to have a random mutation that makes them resistant to the antibiotic. These bacteria survive and reproduce, eventually resulting in an antibiotic-resistant population.

• When you take an antibiotic when you're sick, the bacteria respond by mutating their DNA, making them resistant to the antibiotic. Therefore, an antibiotic-resistant population evolves.

• When you take an antibiotic when you're sick, it causes mutations in the bacteria DNA. Some of these mutations make the bacteria antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria now form a bacteria-resistant population.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes how natural selection results in insects that are pesticide resistant?

• When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, a few insects survive. These insects happen to have a random mutation that makes them resistant to the pesticide. These insects survive and reproduce, eventually resulting in pesticide-resistant population.

• When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, the insects respond by mutating their DNA, making them resistant to the pesticide. Therefore, a pesticide resistant population evolves.

• When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, it causes mutations in the insect DNA. Some of these mutations make the insects pesticide-resistant. These insects now form a pesticide-resistant population.

Multiple Choice

• species will adapt no matter what the environment

• environment has no effect on the survival of an organism

• Individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce

• Insecticides cause mutations that are passed on to the next generation
