All of the following statements would be
consistent with Darwin’s view of natural
selection EXCEPT
A. More offspring are born than can actually
survive
B. Individuals with traits favorable for survival
are more likely to survive and reproduce

Which of the following explains why
bacteria such as staphlococcus aureus
have become resistant to antibiotics?
A. Throughout their lifetime, the
bacteria become accustomed to the
antibiotics
B. The bacteria’s immune systems are
able to adapt to and resist the
antibiotics
C. Some bacteria born with mutations
are resistant to antibiotics, survive,
and reproduce
D. The bacteria become isolated from
the antibiotics and are therefore
unaffected by them

moths would be heterozygous?
