Question

When the antibiotics don't kill the resistant bacteria, what happens to the next generations of bacteria? (1 point)

Responses

Even though they are the "babies" of the resistant bacteria, they DO NOT get resistance gene and are unable to survive against the antibiotics.
Even though they are the "babies" of the resistant bacteria, they DO NOT get resistance gene and are unable to survive against the antibiotics.

Since they are the "babies" of the resistant bacteria, they also have the resistance gene and are able to survive against the antibiotics. Then they have "babies" that are also resistant, and the number of resistant bacteria grows and grows.

This can lead to the further spread and proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the population, making it harder to treat infections with antibiotics in the future. It can also increase the chances of antibiotic-resistant genes being passed on to other bacteria through horizontal gene transfer.

Answer 2

so the first response or the second response

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The second response is correct. When the antibiotics don't kill the resistant bacteria, the next generations of bacteria, including their "babies," will also have the resistance gene and be able to survive against the antibiotics. This can lead to the further spread and proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
