What can we do to reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria

• Always finish a course of antibiotics

• Only take antibiotics when they are really needed

• Reduce the amount of vaccines that are give to protect against viruses

• Increase the number of minutes that an organism sleeps

Do populations "decide" to evolve and change?

• Yes, they know they need to change to survive

• No, they change because of natural selection

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because the organisms that have them are more likely to survive and reproduce.

• Because they come from dominant alleles.

• Because they come from recessive alleles.

• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

Why was Methicillin introduced as a way to treat Staph infections, according to the graph?

• the bacteria became resistant to Methicillin

• the bacteria became resistant to Penicillin

• Penicillin was too expensive

• Methicillin effectively killed all hospital acquired Staph bacteria

The word “antibiotic” means

• "against growth"

• "against disease"

• "against all odds"

• “against life”
