Scenario C: Your Uncle raises beef cattle and is considering adding low amounts of antibiotics to their feed because he heard it makes them grow larger. Explain to him: The concept of using antibiotics for "essential use only." The process of natural selection. How low levels of antibiotics select for resistant bacteria. How these antibiotic resistant bacteria can then be harmful to not only cows, but also humans.

. 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.

Definitions: 1. Based on the outcome of natural selection, describe four different modes of natural selection. Provide one example for each mode. Each example must be different from the ones taught in lecture and lab ppt.
Explain the term bioremediation.
Staphylococcus aureus (staph) is a type of bacteria found on people's skin. These bacteria, along with most other types of bacteria, are usually harmless. They can occasionally cause serious infections that can lead to sepsis or death. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Use your knowledge of natural selection to explain how selection for methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurs. Focus on explaining the specifics of how this happens by talking about the variation that has to be present, the characteristics of that variation, impacts on fitness and success of the next generation. Your answer will not require any additional research and will only be a short paragraph based on what you think must be going on here based on other examples of natural selection

Are gene mutations caused by selective pressures in the environment? In other words, do gene mutations arise in an organism out of need or want? Group of answer choices A. No, because gene mutations are not purely random. B. Yes, because gene mutations are not purely random. C. No, because gene mutations are purely random. D. Yes, because gene mutations are purely random.
Explain the process of adaptation of individual organisms to their environment (i.e. some disease-causing bacteria in a bacterial population can survive exposure to antibiotics due to slight genetic variations from the rest of the population, which allows successful surviving bacteria to pass on antibiotic resistance to the next generation)
