Genetic variation enables bacteria to adapt to changes in their environment. Since, bacteria reproduce asexually (binary fission), they can share genes (genetic transfer) via other mechanisms such as conjugation (exchange of genetic material through direct contact between two bacteria), transformation, and transduction(exchange of genetic material via bacteriophages).

Transformation is a process by which bacteria takes in DNA from its environment through the cell membrane.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus generally reflect declining receptor sensitivity to insulin rather than decreased insulin production- True.

Most Type II diabetes do not produce insulin- False.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus may be defined as the group of metabolic disorder that re characterized by the high blood glucose levels in the body of an individual.The receptor sensitivity decreases towards insulin decreases in Type II diabetes.

The insulin is produced in the proper amount during Type II diabetes. The receptors are unable to respond towards the diabetes.

Thus, the answer is a)-True

                                b)-False.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. transmission genetics

B. population genetics

C. molecular genetics

D. genomics

E. molecular genetics

Explanation:

Transmission genetics can be defined as the study of the mechanisms involved in the inheritance of genetic material by offspring from parents. This discipline started with the discovery of inherited characteristics in pea plants by Mendel (1865).

Population genetics is a subdiscipline of genetics that studies genetic variation within and between populations. Population genetics is an area that explains how allele and genotypic frequencies change across time, thereby this subdiscipline is closely linked to evolutionary biology.

Genomics is a broad area of genetics that studies the function, evolution, structure, function, mapping and comparison of genomes (i.e., the whole genetic material contained in each cell of a given organism). This discipline aims at understanding entire gene pools. Genomics includes different research areas including structural genomics, functional genomics, epigenomics and metagenomics.

Molecular genetics is a sub-discipline of genetics that studies the mechanisms involved in preserving the genetic material (i.e., DNA and RNA), and to understand how the structure and expression of the genetic material influence the observed variation among organisms.
