When antibiotics and antibiotics are used frequently, the populations evolve a natural immunity to them. this is best explained by Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest, individuals with the best-adapted traits will be the only ones to survive, reproduce, and pass on their traits.

What is an example of direct evidence for evolution is... genetic changes in plants antibiotic resistance in bacteria pesticide resistance in insects or all of the above?
genetic changes in plants, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and pesticide resistance in insects.
How has crop dusting led to pesticide resistance?
The act of crop dusting itself has not led to pesticide resistance. Mismanagement of pesticide application is the root cause of pesticide resistance.
What is Population Resistance?
Population resistance is also known as pesticide resistance. Pesticide resistance describes a pest population's increasing resistance to a pesticide that use to be effective in terminating said pests.
What is pesticide resistance.?
Pesticide resistance describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling the pest.
How could you explain the increase of infection in hospitals by antibiotic-resistance bacterial?
Bacteria become resitant to antibiotics by evolution .
What original event resulted in evolution of insecticide resistance in some insects?
The application of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is considered the original event that resulted in the evolution of pesticide resistance in some insects. The incident numbers among the pivotal events in the twentieth century since its first applications date to the 1940s. Immunity to the pesticide's toxic effects may be traced back to as early as 1947.
How does pesticide resistance develop over time?
The pesticide resistance develops over time due to the natural selection.
What is the Medical term meaning superbug infection?
Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
How is antibiotic resistance an adaptation?
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.
Has antibiotic resistance affected endocarditis?
Unfortunately, in recent years, the treatment of endocarditis has become more complicated as a result of antibiotic resistance
How are humans contributing to anibiotic and pesticide resistance?
misuse and overuse.
Antibiotics are used to treat viruses.?
NO! Antibiotics have no effect at all on viruses and should never be used to treat viral infections and doing so accelerates the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
