easy · MCAT Biological & Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
A researcher discovers that a population of bacteria survives exposure to an antibiotic because a few individuals already possessed a random mutation providing resistance. Over several generations, the entire population is resistant. This is an example of:
- Genetic Drift
- Acquired Characteristics
- Artificial Selection
- Natural Selection
