Sergio asked:
It has been found that exposure to an antibiotic can turn on the expression of genes involved in resistance to that antibiotic.
1. What are two different ways that bacteria might respond to this drug at the level of gene expression so that the y can resist its action?
2. What is one possible action the protein(s) coded by these genes might take?
