If a parent bacterial cell is able to survive in the presence of the antibiotic penicillin, it indicates that the cell is resistant to this antibiotic. Therefore, assuming no mutations occur that would change this trait and that the resistance is heritable, subsequent generations from this parent would also be:
- Resistant to penicillin
This is because the genes conferring resistance will be passed down to the offspring. However, it's important to note that in real-world scenarios, resistance levels can change due to new mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and other evolutionary pressures. But in the general case described in your question, resistance would be the expected outcome for the offspring of a penicillin-resistant parent bacterium.
