How are bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics?
bacteria does not become resistant to antibiotics.
by a random genetic mutation
by wishing they were resistant.
antibiotic resistance does not exist.
People are making antibiotic resistance worse by:
taking antibiotics only when they need them
putting antibiotics into our food and environment
not sharing antibiotics with others
carefully taking them according to the doctor's directions
What can we do to reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria (choose all that aplly)
Always finish a course of antibiotics
Only take antibiotics when they are really needed
Take antibiotics whenever it is possible
Reduce the amount of antibiotics given to animals in the farming industry
Camouflage means:
A special dessert
When an animal looks like another animal
A way an animal can look like its surroundings
A __________________ is a random change in the genetic makeup of an organism.
Mutation
Adaptation
Natural Selection
Evolution
An inability to adapt to environmental changes can lead to death of all members of a species. This is called _______________________.
Expatriation
Examination
Extermination
Extinction
Organisms with traits that are best suited for their environments are likely to have a greater chance for survival. These helpful traits, which arise due to genetic mutations, are known as _____________________.
Mutation
Adaptations
Natural Selection
Evolution
Choose which scientist corresponds best with the statement:
survival of the fittest; those with naturally better traits survive to reproduce and pass off those traits to offspring
Darwin
Lamarck
Choose which scientist corresponds best with the statement:
acquired characteristics are inherited (example: a giraffe grows its neck longer to reach leaves and passes the longer neck to its offspring)
Darwin
Lamarck
The process in which organism with variations most suited to their local environment survive and leave more offspring.
Natural Selection
Acquired Adaptation
Common Descent
Phenotype
What do we call differences among inherited traits?
Variation
Adaptation
Evolution
Speciation
Who would have stated "acquired traits" such as a giraffe needing a long neck so they stretch it over time
Darwin
Lamarck
Which of the following gave Charles Darwin the idea of evolution?

have the ability to interbreed.
____________ is the development of new species when a two groups can no longer interbreed with one another.
Competitive
Speciation
Isolation
