To stop disease from growing in the barn, the FQ antibiotic is fed to the chickens a lot. Choose which way of evolution caused the FQ antibiotic resistance: Gene Flow, Genetic Drift, Natural Selection. Hypothesize: Form a hypothesis that explains your choice. You will be able to revise your hypothesis after performing experiments. Type your answer here. Submit.

#4. Select the response that places the steps in the most logical order for how DDT resistance has evolved in the mosquito population. A After humans introduce DDT into the environment, the presence of the chemical determines who survives and reproduces and who does not. B Those individuals that are more resistant to DDT survive and reproduce, passing their genes for resistance to their offspring. Those individuals that are less resistant to DDT do not survive or do not reproduce as often. C Individuals within the mosquito population have heritable variations in resistance to DDT. D After multiple generations of exposure to DDT, the frequency of DDT resistance increases with more individuals being DDT resistant. A, B, C, D C, A, B, D A, C, B, D C, B, A, D #5. The evolution of both DDT resistance in mosquitoes and antibiotic resistance in MRSA are an example of Natural selection; this is the only mechanism by which organisms can change over time. Artificial selection; humans determined which individuals had favorable traits and selectively bred mosquitoes and MRSA to intentionally increase resistance. Natural selection; although humans introduced the selective pressures that influenced the two populations they did not selectively breed for resistance. Artificial selection; this is the only mechanism in which specific genetic variations can be selected for in a non-random manner.
