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.
When you take an antibiotic when you're sick, it kills the bacteria, which allows a new species of bacteria to infect the body. Some of species are antibiotic resistant, thus a new population of antibiotic-resistant bacteria appears.

Which of the following statements best describes what will most likely occur to the moth populations in the image?
The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of light moths will rise.
The light moths will change their wing color to match that of the dark moths.
The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of dark moths will rise.
The dark moths will be captured by predators more easily than the light moths, and the dark moths will probably go extinct.
Natural Selection is driven by a change in the environment and survival of the
Earth
Fastest
Fittest
Biggest
Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?
Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Because they come from dominant alleles.
Because they come from recessive alleles.
Because the organism knew it needed that trait, survives, and passes it on.
