Some bacteria are able to grow in streptomycin containing medium due to

  1. natural selection
  2. induced mutation
  3. reproductive isolation
  4. genetic drift.

Answer

(1) natural selection

Solution

Resistance to streptomycin arises by a chance (spontaneous) mutation in a few bacterial cells, before any contact with the antibiotic.

⇒ When streptomycin is added to the medium, the sensitive bacteria are killed while the resistant ones survive and multiply.

As per NCERT, the appearance of antibiotic- or drug-resistant microbes within a short time is an example of evolution by natural selection (anthropogenic action).

∴ These bacteria grow in a streptomycin containing medium due to natural selection.
