If we take the fittest bacterium from an environment in which the antibiotic amoxicillin is abundant and place it an environment in which a different antibiotic is abundant, will it retain its high degree of fitness?

Explanation:

In the given condition it is not necessary that the bacterium will retain its high degree of fitness

Fitness mainly depends on the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce and it may not do this as well in a different environment

As given, fittest bacterium was taken from an environment in which the antibiotic amoxicillin is abundant and then placed in an environment in which a different antibiotic is abundant so in this case environment of the bacterium is changed and there is a chance that it will not retain its high degree of fitness

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
