How are bacteria able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment?

1 answer:

7 0

They adapt because they can replicate quickly (have many generations within short period of time) and accumulate mutations. Mutations in their genetic information allows them to bypass the host's immune system or resist to antibiotics. These mutations are successfully carried to the next generations of bacteria and allows them to thrive in their new environments.

In this question, there are no options given to choose from. So i would answer this question based on my knowledge. The most likely cause of the observed variation is adaptation and evolution. The birds of that island adapted to the food source and then they evolved as per the requirement of the place and food source.

Answer:

If an organism has a beneficial trait, they have a higher chance of survival, and if they can survive they can reproduce too.

Example: Speckled moths camouflage with the bark of trees and are not easily seen by predators. Black moths do not camouflage with the bark of trees and are easily seen by predators, therefore the black moths are eaten. Because the black moths have been eaten they cannot reproduce and pass on the trait for black wings to their offspring, but the speckled moths are able to reproduce because they survived and are able to pass on the speckled wing trait to their offspring.
