Bacterial resistance to common antibiotics has been occurring over the last fifty years. Many antibiotics, like ampicillin, were effective in treating many bacterial infections but are not becoming significantly less effective. In order for a medical doctor to be able to explain to the patient why the same antibiotic can no longer be used to treat a similar infection, the doctor attempts to explain natural selection to the patient. Evaluate which of these components would be appropriate to include in the explanation to the patient and select ALL that apply.

A)The bacterial resistance includes all antibiotics.
B)The bacterial resistance to the antibiotic is genetic in origin.
C)The bacterial resistance to the antibiotic can be passed on to offspring.
D)The bacterial resistance to the antibiotic is because of an insufficient dose of antibiotic.
E)The bacterial resistance is the result of differential survival of a population of bacteria when exposed to the antibiotic.
