1) This document discusses how bacteria and insects can evolve resistance to antibiotics and pesticides due to variation, mutations, sexual reproduction, rapid reproduction rates, and selection pressures from human use of these substances. 2) It provides examples of bacteria and insects as organisms that can evolve quickly due to short generations and large numbers of offspring. 3) An activity is described to show how bacterial resistance to antibiotics depends on genetic variation, the adaptive value of resistance genes, survival of resistant bacteria when exposed to antibiotics, and reproduction of the resistant bacteria to pass on those genes.
