<span>It is important to characterize and identify unknown environmental bacteria because it is a potential pathogen. This means that it could be harmful to anyone. Thus, it is necessary to characterize and identify them in order to distinguish one organism from another and to group similar organisms by criteria of interest. Hence, bacteria are everywhere and they are part of our environment and even of us and through. Through identifying them can help us determine the cause of a disease or to test if a certain food is safe to eat or simply to know what is present in a certain ecosystem. </span>

Andre45 [30]

Answer: B

Explanation: Traits usually die off when they are unneeded by the organism, or if the trait causes harm to the organism's survival. Through natural selection, over time, the organisms with the best combination of traits for its survival will become the dominating species, and those with weaker traits may not survive long enough to pass off their traits to future offspring.

Explain why DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria.
svet-max [94.6K]
In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended. 

<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>
