4. Video clip (Ted-Ed) Record your response in paragraph form:
What causes antibiotic resistance?
You must use the following terms:
Bacteria
Antibiotics
Mutations
natural selection
resistance

5. Example
Antibiotics are used to fight bacterial infections. They are becoming less effective over time. If just one bacteria is resistant to the antibiotics or undergoes a mutation, then that bacterium will survive to reproduce. This is an example of natural selection because the bacteria that are most well adapted are the ones that will survive to reproduce.
