Evolutionary changes of antibiotic resistant bacteria increase the ability of a species to survive and reproduce under any circumstances (True or false) give explaination for answer?
You are discussing the choice of the “oil-eating” bacteria that you will use to clean the affected area from the oil spill and your team wants to know whether the Kalba sea constitutes a natural habitat for these bacteria.
Formulate a hypothesis stating why or why not the Kalba sea area can be considered a natural habitat for such bacteria. Support your answer by discussing the role of evolution in contributing to the survival and thriving of “oil-eating” bacteria. Explain how and why these bacteria acquired these characteristics
In one paragraph, using your own words, explain the role that natural selection plays in the growth of antibiotic-resistant strands of bacteria.
