Generally speaking, there are 2 major forces that cause genetic divergence in the majority of populations and systems. 

And those are; 

Natural Selection
and
Mutation 

Natural selection causes a divergence due to the fact that organisms with " "better", more advantageous traits dependent on their environment, survive and reproduce, while the others have the lesser chance. (This causes traits in the population to change over time.)


Mutilation/Mutations, on the other hand, is a change in the genetic material of an organism-specifically when DNA is copied incorrectly.

This changes a portion of the genetic makeup of an organism, therefore changing the organism, and changing its future generations of offspring (when made...etc)


Hope this helped, let me know if you'd like more information!

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Gram negative bacteria is a type of bacteria that possesses, from the interior to the exterior, a cytoplasmic membrane, a thin peptidoglycan layer, and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. The lipid portion of the lipopolysaccharide complex of the outer layer acts as an ENDOTOXIN.

The endotoxin of the gram negative bacteria can be detected in research or biomedical laboratories through a technique called LIMULUS AMEBOCYTE LYSATE test.

The test procedure follows a principle that the endotoxin of these gram negative bacteria are capable of forming gel clots (coagulation) of blood cell (amoebocytes) lysates of the Limulus polyphemus crab.

Therefore, If LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) turns into a gel when exposed to a sample, it

means the sample is contaminated with endotoxins of gram-negative bacteria.
