God created a number of different types of animals with much capacity for variation within limits. The descendants of each of these different kinds, apart from humans, would today mostly be represented by a larger grouping than what is called a [[species]]. In most cases, those species descended from a particular original kind would be grouped today within what modern taxonomists call a [[genus]]. There are however some important difference between a Kind and Species.<br /> <br /> ==Classification==<br /> <br /> Some of the major Kind groups are as follows:<br /> <br /> - Horses, zebras and donkeys and giraffes are probably descended from an ''equine'' (horse-like) kind.<br /> <br /> - Dogs, wolves, coyotes and the walrus are probably from a ''canine'' (dog-like) kind.<br /> <br /> - Cats, tigers, lions, lepards and pumas are descended from ''Carnivora'' (cat-like) kind.<br /> <br /> - All different types of domestic cattle and buffaloes are descended from the ''Udders'' (Cows-like) kind.<br /> <br /> - Monkeys, apes, lemurs and sloths are all from the ''primate'' kind.<br /> <br /> - All birds including: parrots, chickens, penguins, ostriches and bats are descended from ''bird'' kind.<br /> <br /> - Weasels, badgers, beavers, hamsters, and hedgehogs are probably descended from a ''fur-wearing mouse-like'' kind.<br /> <br /> - Frogs, toads, newts, lizards, and snakes are descended from an ''underwater non-fish'' like kind. <br /> <br /> - All insects including: bees, flies, moths, nits, ticks, leeches and snails are descended from ''small'' kind.<br /> <br /> - The platypus, starfish, kangaroo and turtles are completely unrelated to anything else.</div>

<p>C101: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Antibiotic resistance''' is the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of [[antibiotics]]. It is a specific type of [[drug resistance]]. Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via [[natural selection]] acting upon 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. If a bacterium carries several resistance [[genes]], it is called '''multiresistant''' or, informally, a '''superbug'''. The term '''antimicrobial resistance''' is sometimes use to explicitly encompass organisms other than bacteria.</div>
