Choose some characteristic other than color in peppered moths or long necks in Giraffes. Detail how the theory of Natural Selection as proposed by Charles Darwin can explain how this might evolve. In your discussion, be sure to incorporate: overproduction, variation, inheritance, struggle for existence, and many generations of change.
Bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics and this can happen very quickly, since bacteria can produce several generations within one day (overproduction) and it has fight survive (struggle for existence). The strongest bacteria are the last to die and the antibiotics sometimes do not kill all of them.
Antibiotic resistance is the result of evolution through natural selection. Environmental pressure of antibiotic activity; Mutations can allow bacteria to survive. Then they will inherits this trait on to their offspring, which will be a whole generation of resistance.
