In recent years "SuperBugs" (bacteria that aren't effected by antibiotics) are becoming more and more common. How could natural selection explain this?

• Superbugs survive antibiotics and reproduce
• Antibiotics cause bacteria to become superbugs
• We have always had the same amount of superbugs; modern media just discusses them more.
• There is no reliable data on the origin of super bugs.

• It makes the moths faster than the birds
• It makes the moths harder to see.

Which of these is an example of natural selection?

• The largest animal in a population will have more opportunities for reproduction.
