Studying Mutations in Developmental Disorders
Clones
A population of bacteria is exposed to a powerful antibiotic, which kills most of the cells. However, a small number of bacteria survive because they possess a sudden, permanent change in one of their genes that was not present in the parent population. Based on this information, what is the most accurate conclusion to draw about this genetic change?
