5 0

Answer:

<u>Mutations</u>

Explanation:

Random modifications within the genome may arise during the cycle of cell division, called mutations. These are errors which occur as copies of the DNA are produced within the cell; mutations may range from small modifications called single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.  These are transmissible across several generations, and are said to be heritable.

These mutations create variants which, within a community, become permanent, resulting in the creation of different, genetically distinct populations called species.  Mutations can even accumulate over time in a group, changing the distribution of alleles or various gene forms-this is called genetic drift.

Discuss how microbial world is divided providing at least two unique features of each if the living group
RUDIKE [14]

Microorganisms can be divided into two groups:

1. Archea

• Archea are prokaryotic unicellular organisms without cell nucleus or other membrane bound-organelles.  

• Their membrane is built from ether lipids, which differs them from bacteria’s cell membrane.

•  

2. Bacteria

• Bacteria are also unicellular prokaryotic organisms.  

• Bacterial cell membranes are made from phosphoglycerides with ester bonds. Bacterial genome is in a form of circular chromosome.  

• They reproduce by binary fission or by budding.

Besides, prokaryotes (Archea and Bacteria) a large number of eukaryotes are also microorganisms. Unicellular eukaryotes contain organelles such as the cell nucleus, the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. Usually, they reproduce asexually by mitosis. An example of eukaryotic microorganism is Protist.
