A) A single mutation is common but a double mutation is very rare.
B) If the mutation rate to antibiotic A is 10⁻⁹ per cell division, and to antibiotic B is 10⁻⁶ per cell division, the probability of the cell being resistant to both medications is 10⁻¹⁵.
C) If the mutation rate to antibiotic A is 10⁻⁹ per cell division, and to antibiotic B is 10⁻⁶ per cell division, the probability of the cell being resistant to both medications is 10⁻⁵⁴.
