Question

place the following stages in order from 1 to 5 to describe the process of antibiotic resistance.
first (1st) second (2nd) third (3rd) fourth (4th) fifth (5th)
resistant bacteria multiply and become more common
stronger and stronger bacteria evolve over time
exposure to antibiotics kills a majority of the normal strands
antibiotics are ineffective in killing the resistant strand
overproduction of bacteria including resistant strand
back reset submit

Explanation:

The process of antibiotic resistance begins with overproduction of bacteria (including resistant strands). Then, exposure to antibiotics kills most normal strands. Antibiotics are ineffective against resistant strands. Resistant bacteria multiply and become more common. Over time, stronger bacteria evolve.

Answer:

First (1st): Overproduction of bacteria including resistant strand
Second (2nd): Exposure to antibiotics kills a majority of the normal strands
Third (3rd): Antibiotics are ineffective in killing the resistant strand
Fourth (4th): Resistant bacteria multiply and become more common
Fifth (5th): Stronger and stronger bacteria evolve over time
