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.

Use the following information to answer the next question. Penicillin kills bacteria by obstructing the bacteria's ability to synthesize a cell wall. However, certain bacteria have developed resistance against penicillin. Staphylococcus bacteria produce an enzyme called penicillinase. This enzyme helps breakdown penicillin. Which of the following processes results in the development of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus bacteria? O natural selection artificial selection O artificial insemination O inbreeding

Consider that you are a civilian resident living on the Chatham Island in New Zealand where a long-finned pilot whale stranding event with 100 beached whales is happening and maybe have even been participating in the response to the strandings. Raise specific questions that you may have for the local government or researchers about the stranding. Argue for an alternate hypothesis as to why the event occurred. Use and fully cite in-text peer-reviewed journals and government organizations, to support all data. Then, provide a full reference section at the end to list all the sources used
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)
Transformation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that involves random mutation. physical contact between cells. viral infection. acquisition of DNA from the environment.
