Which event best indicates that evolution is still taking place?
The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a clear indication that evolution is still occurring. As antibiotics are used more frequently, bacteria can develop mutations that make them resistant to these drugs, showcasing natural selection in action.
Is antibiotic resistance proof of evolution?
When a population of bacteria is bombarded with antibiotics, the 'weak' ones will die. The ones with some resistance built in will survive, and divide to form a new population of copies of themselves, or a resistant population. This in itself is survival of the fittest in a very pure form.
What system sees evolution as taking place by inherent forces?
This is the open system. It allows for evolution taking place in order to have the world look and act in the way that it does now.
A system sees evolution as taking place entirely by inhrent forces?
open system
Can you see evolution in action today?
Yes, to a degree. In bacteria where there can be several generations in a day, we see a lot of evolution take place. In humans and elephants and other animals with longer generational turnover, we will only see slight variations because we don't live long enough. Antibiotics such as penicillin that are no longer working is an example of the evolution of bacteria. Answer A different influenza vaccine has to be made almost every flu season because of natural selection choosing mutations that confer greater chances for survival on influenza.
Are wisdom teeth an example of human evolution taking place right now?
Wisdom teeth are vestigial organs, which are organs that have lost their original or primary function. Wisdom teeth were used when humans had a primarily vegetative diet and needed to chew through thick vegetation. Rather than an example of evolution taking place, wisdom teeth reveal the remains of evolution.
What proof do we have evolution taking place?
Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and observed instances of natural selection. These different lines of evidence all support the concept of biological evolution occurring over time.
Does tetracycline act as an anti-inflammatory?
Tetracycline is an antibiotic, which kills bacteria. It is not an anti-inflammatory medication, but if it treats the underlying problem that requires the antibiotic in the first place, then technically one could say that it could "act" as a medication that will help the inflammation go down simply by treating the infection.
Will thrush from antibiotics clear up after I stop taking them?
No! Antibiotics will make thrush worse. Anti-biotics work by killing all bacteria, both good and bad. Thrush is caused by candida bacteria. Anti-biotics will kill the bacteria that opposes the candida bacteria and keeps the body in harmony, so taking anti-biotics will make your thrush worse or will have been the root cause of your thrush in the first place. You must use an anti-fungal medication either on the source of the problem - like a pessary or cream or take action systemically - by taking oral anti-fungal medication.
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is called?
The first bacteria to show resistance to methicillin, was staphylococci. It was demonstrated in Landon in 1964, probably. This was taken place due to composition of the staphylococci, probably. They live in grape like clusters. So the inner bacteria does not enough quantity of antibiotic. This favors the development of resistant bacteria. Staphylococci has shown resistance to many antibiotics since then. The most dreaded multiple drug resistant bacteria was found in India in 2009. It was resistant to almost all the antibiotics. Here in India general practice is dominated by unqualified doctors. The fee charged by these quacks is very less. People are looking after cheap doctors, specially in rural area and in slums of the cities.The government has no political will to stop the menace. These quacks always write one or two antibiotics for even the viral fevers and malaria also. The problem patient goes to specialist doctors. Who is compelled to use the higher antibiotics. These things favored the development of the bacteria, which are resistant to all the antibiotics.
Is evolution still taking place?
Yes. Evolution is a continuous process. It happens to all populations of living things, even to human populations. However, it may occur at varying rates, depending on the size of the population and other circumstances, so it may not be immediately apparent that evolution is, in fact, happening.
What are some of the problems with Devolution?
There is no such thing as devolution, it is always evolution taking place, devolution is just a new word that usually spreads a very naive misconception about the evolution of man. About problems, can you please clarify your question? I personally find it incomprehensible.
