Question
if the \stronger\ bacteria survive, and therefore are the only ones left. they will eventually reproduce. when they reproduce they are passing on antibiotic - resistant __, and therefore the antibiotic - resistant __ to the next generation of bacteria. dna ; trait proteins ; dna trait ; proteins rewatch
DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the traits of an organism. When bacteria reproduce, they pass on their DNA. The antibiotic - resistant trait is encoded in the DNA. So, the first blank should be filled with "DNA" as it is the genetic material being passed on, and the second blank should be "Trait" as the DNA encodes the antibiotic - resistant trait. Proteins are not the genetic material passed on in reproduction in the way described here.
