Create a Story Board

Imagine a scenario in which a student has to have her tonsils removed. During her hospital stay, even though she constantly uses antibacterial hand gel, she still manages to get a small infection and is prescribed an antibiotic. While at the hospital she does not eat the probiotic yogurt that she has consumed at breakfast everyday for years. Thousands of good bacteria are in her intestines along with a few, very bad, Clostridium Difficile or “C. Diff” bacteria. While still, in the hospital she begins to get very ill...

With your understanding of natural selection, adaptation and diversity explain the likely causal factors involved in her illness and some possible solutions.

On your board, draw a series of cartoon panels that depict what is occurring in this student’s gut during this ordeal, showing how natural selection, adaptation, diversity, prokaryotes and eukaryotes play a role in the happy ending.
