Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do antibiotics, pesticides, bacteria, and viruses all have in common?
A
They all initiate apoptosis in target cells.
B
They all cause mutations in gamete DNA
C
They all delay immune responses in organisms.
D
They all have the ability to influence natural selection.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Survival of the Fittest (Natural Selection) When bacteria are initially exposed to an antibiotic, those most susceptible to the antibiotic will die quickly, leaving any surviving bacteria to pass on their resistant features to succeeding generations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antimicrobial resistance happens when germs like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. That means the germs are not killed and continue to grow. Resistant infections can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to treat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotic resistance is a stunning example of evolution by natural selection. Bacteria with traits that allow them to survive the onslaught of drugs can thrive, re-ignite infections, and launch to new hosts on a cough. Evolution generates a medical arms race.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infections. They are produced in nature by soil bacteria and fungi.
