3.31

Objective 3.31: describe the process of evolution by the means of natural selection
evolution
is the change in the form of organisms and the frequency of alleles
natural selection is the mechanism of evolution (charles darwins theory)
an example of evolution- staphylococcus aureus- leads to skin and lung infection
the original form of this could be killed by methecilline. (MSSA)
there was a mutation and now it cannot be killed. the immune version is MRSA
as MRSA is immune, it is becoming more common.
