Bacteria pass the genetic information for antibiotic resistance to other cells during conjugation. Rearrange the steps to show how antibiotic resistance can spread through a bacteria population. Place the first step at the top and the last step at the bottom. The antibiotic-resistant Shigella connects to a second Shigella cell. The second Shigella cell reproduces asexually. Both daughter bacteria are resistant to amoxicillin. The second Shigella cell changes shape, making it resistant to amoxicillin. One Shigella cell's genetic material shifts, causing the cell to change shape. The cell is now resistant to the antibiotic amoxicillin. The antibiotic-resistant Shigella passes a chunk of genetic material to the second Shigella cell.

Here’s the correct order of steps showing how antibiotic resistance can spread through a bacteria population: 1. The antibiotic-resistant Shigella connects to a second Shigella cell. 2. The antibiotic-resistant Shigella passes a chunk of genetic material to the second Shigella cell. 3. One Shigella cell's genetic material shifts, causing the cell to change shape. 4. The second Shigella cell changes shape, making it resistant to amoxicillin. 5. The second Shigella cell reproduces asexually. 6. Both daughter bacteria are resistant to amoxicillin.
