a) Is a life threatening problem which is increasing in occurrence.
b) Is caused by over use of pesticides
c) Is caused by over use of fungicides
d) Could endanger species of bacteria.

2. What happens to colonies of bacteria that live in your body when they gain a mutation that helps them tolerate colder temperatures than 98.6?
a) They succeed in human populations in cold climates
b) They out compete bacteria who are unable to tollerate colder temperatures.
c) They are eventually out competed by bacteria who don't have the burden of replicating all the molecules associated with tolerating cold.
