The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.

Ocean-dwelling chemoheterotrophic bacteria that generate energy via aerobic respiration are dependent on the presence of photoau
galben [10]
Because, photoautotrophs serves as their carbon sources.
Chemoheterotrophic bacteria are those bacteria that are incapable of producing their own food, they depend on photoautotrophs, which are capable of making their own food by trapping energy from the sun. Thus, photoautotrophs serves as source of food for the chemoheterotrophic bacteria.

What is modern genetic techniques?
Arlecino [84]
Whole genes and parts of genes can be extracted from chromosomes, linked to other DNA molecules to form recombinant DNA and introduced into living cells. In a process known as gene cloning, the host cell's biochemical processes are used to make many copies of the inserted gene and the protein it codes for.
