1. What traits of bacteria make them capable of quickly developing antibiotic resistance?

Choose 2 of these traits and explain how they could contribute to antibiotic resistance in a bacterial population.
(Hint: Think of how bacteria reproduce.)

2. In the Herd Immunity assignment, you saw visualizations of diseases like Seasonal Flu, Ebola, and Measles spreading through populations at various levels of vaccination.
In the event of a new, or "novel" disease there is no vaccine available. This is comparable to the infection rates you saw at 0% vaccination.

The pandemic we are currently living through is caused by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19.
Explain how, in the absence of a vaccine, social distancing can help to slow the spread of disease.

1. Based on this lab, describe how antibiotic resistance in bacteria may have evolved including the mutation that created the gene, how antibiotics can cause natural selection, how the genetics of the bacteria changes over time (resistant and non-resistant), and how the genetics and phenotypes of the host (resistant and non-resistant) changes over time. 2. If flower color in a plant population is due to 2 alleles (R = red and r= white) which show incomplete dominance (Rr = pink),...
