Explain how this experiment showed that genetic drift was not a cause of the antibiotic resistance.

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population. Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange.

Answer:

Genetic drift be a mechanism of evolution characterized by random fluctuations within the frequency of a selected version of a gene (allele) during a population.

Genetic drift didn't cause antibiotic resistance during this experiment because the number of your time was too short to be able to assess whether there is a genetic change for the chickens.

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via action through random mutation, but it could even be engineered by applying evolutionary stress to a population.
