Questions
1. What are the four basic characteristics that result in natural selection?
2. Explain how bacteria encountering an antibiotic exhibit each of these 4 characteristics.
3. How was "cycling" supposed to slow the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria?

5. What situation did Dr. Bergstrom create a model of?
6. What did that model predict?
7. How did he test his model?
