Answer:
Mutations in certain genes of bacteria cause them to be resistant to ‘powerful antibiotics’. This type of mutation in the bacteria is called as genetic mutation.
Explanation:
Mutations acts as cause for the bacteria to gain antibiotic resistant. Some unconstrained transformations caused due to either external or internal factors in their genes may make the bacterium impervious to antibiotics.
If we culture the bacteria in a specific antibiotic, those bacteria which have the ability to resist the antibiotics will show rapid multiplication in the medium and thus increase its number.
