Two students are discussing natural selection in bacteria and how it can relate to antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
Bernadette states that when antibiotics are used, bacteria can respond by developing traits to help them
defeat the antibiotic, which then may increase their fitness.
Dominique states that there is already a variety of traits among the bacteria. Bacteria that have traits that
allow them to survive the antibiotic and reproduce may have higher fitness.
Which individual's reasoning do you agree with more and why?

14) whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
