Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.
Answer:
Phenotypic changes:
When Rhodobacter is cultured in total darkness for multiple generations, the ability to produce it's own photopigment reduces with time with little or no ability to undergo its own photosynthesis due to absence of enzymes or pigment for photosynthesis.
It becomes expensive for the Rhodobacter to undergo photosynthesis. This allows mutants that can grow in the dark to take over from the culture grown in the dark.
Evolutionary processes:
It's natural selection that allows the fittest organism to survive. As in the case of the mutants
My description:
During the first 10 hours it did not change and remained at 1m individials. After 15 hours, the number of bacteria increased 4 times the initial number. 5 hours later, it had remained already 20 hours at a stable temperature of 15 degrees and had reached a rercord of 10 million individuals, remaining 15 hours at the same position. After that, it started decreasing and 10 hours later it had gone back to 4 million individuals.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
