Explain how the adaptation to reproduce quickly is beneficial in bacteria's ability to develop resistance to antibiotics.

Resistance to antibiotics

Explanation:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms usually found all over the inside and outside of our bodies

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibioticAntibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections,the bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harmThere are two main ways that bacterial cells can acquire antibiotic resistance,one is through mutations that occur in the DNA of the cell during replication and the other way that bacteria acquire resistance is through horizontal gene transferThrough the process of replication bacteria develop mutations that make them resistant to antibioticsBacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibioticsResistant bacteria continue to multiply even when exposed to antibioticsIn horizontal gene transfer,antibiotic resistant genetic material is transferred between different bacterial cells which can happen in three different ways: transformation,transduction or conjugation

Ithink the answer is c. i’m not sure though i’ll notify you when i have an exact answer!
