Question
What makes bacteria dangerous when they undergo NATURAL SELECTION?
They are in hospitals and cannot be killed without a hazmat suit on
They can resist antibiotics and copy their genes to other bacteria to make people very sick
They are everywhere and in everyone and do not change over time so that we can defeat them with antibiotics

The statement that best describes what makes bacteria dangerous when they undergo natural selection is:
**They can resist antibiotics and copy their genes to other bacteria to make people very sick.**
This is particularly true for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can evolve through natural selection by developing mutations or acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. This ability to share resistance traits through processes such as horizontal gene transfer enables them to spread resistance rapidly, making infections harder to treat and posing a significant public health challenge.
