When the antibiotic penicillin was first introduced, it was immediately effective in combating staphylococcus bacterial infections. After a number of years, there were outbreaks of staphylococcal infections that did not respond to treatment with penicillin. The best explanation for this situation is that
members of the original population of bacteria that were penicillin resistant survived and reproduced, creating a more resistant population
the bacteria that survived exposure to penicillin learned to avoid it
the bacteria that caused the new outbreaks were from populations that had never been exposed to penicillin
during each generation, the bacteria modied their own DNA to increase their ability to resist penicillin and passed this ability on to their descendants

Typhoid fever, a disease that causes headaches, digestive upset, and a high fever, is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. Typhoid can be spread from person to person by contaminated water or food or by a lack of cleanliness. Since the 19th century, the number of individuals infected with this disease has decreased. Which statement best explains why the number of people with this disease and other bacterial diseases has decreased over the last 100 years?
Scientists have corrected the damaged genes that cause typhoid fever and other infectious diseases.
Public health ocials have placed better controls on the use of the toxic substances that cause these diseases.
Typhoid fever, like most other bacterial diseases, is often caused by a lack of proper nutrition.
Personal habits, such as hand washing, have greatly reduced contamination from bacteria.

Base your answers to the following questions on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment is becoming an increasing problem for the medical community. It is estimated that 70% of bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one of the drugs used for treatment. Dangerous strains of tuberculosis (TB) have emerged that are resistant to several major antibiotic drugs. While drug-resistant TB is generally treatable, it requires much longer treatments with several antibiotics that are very expensive.
Explain the loss of effectiveness of antibiotic drugs. In your explanation, be sure to:
a. identify the genetic event that resulted in the original antibiotic resistance in some strains of bacteria
