Science fiction movies have been known to sketch out a world of the near-future where terrible things have happened such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance in flesh-eating bacteria. What might we reasonably say about this topic? (Select all that apply) A - While one can have fun with entertaining stories about evolution (including ones that are very plausible), this is not a good reason to fund research on antibiotics because that is a solved medical problem. B - It has already happened with some early antibiotics (like penicillin)-the only reason we are momentarily okay is the continued development of additional antibiotics. C - In principle, it is possible but evolution takes millions of years, so don't expect it in the near-future. D - The bodies of humans have evolved since the discovery of antibiotics such that they are less and less effective already. E - We shouldn't find antibiotic resistance to be evidence for evolution because it is only a science-fiction story: it…
If all living organisms have the same pattern, then humans would have the same genetic code as a worm because all species have the same repeated pattern, DNA could not provide the variety needed for the genetic code.
