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

Antibiotic resistance happens naturally due to genetic mutation through random selection, however, genetic drift occurs on purpose and tests which genes are stronger and should continue to be passed on to future generations. In most cases, genetic drift is needed and antibiotic resistance isn't.
