Question

Explain how a population of antibiotic-resistant bacteria might develop from non-resistant

bacteria. Do you think that farmers should be allowed to put low doses of antibiotics in
animal feed? Explain the reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

More exposure causes mutation in bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

More exposure to the antibiotic by non-resistant bacteria causes change in its structure against the environment and as a result of that change the bacteria get resistance against that antibiotic. No, farmers should not be allowed to put low doses of antibiotics in animal feed because it has no effect on the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The farmer should use another antibiotic on the antibiotic-resistant bacteria which they have no resistance.
