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.

enyata [817]

The kidney is considered a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the balance of water, ions, and electrolytes in the blood.

Kidneys extract wastes and excess fluid from the body, kidneys also remove acid that is created by the cells in the body and sustain a healthy equilibrium of salts, water, and minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus in the blood.

Each kidney consists of almost a million filtering units called nephrons. Every nephron has a filter, called the tubule, and a glomerulus. The nephrons function via a two-step process, the glomerulus purifies the blood, and the tubule returns required substances to the blood and clears wastes.
