Other than passing genes from parents to offspring, bacteria are also capable of injecting their genes directly into other bacte

ria. Using complete sentences, explain how this speeds up the process of evolution in bacteria using either inherited variation, competition, or differential reproductive success.

Explanation:

Bacteria usually divides by fission. This produces offspring that are the exact copies of the parent unless a mutation occurs in the offspring.

Occasionally, however, bacteria cells exchange genetic material through conjugation. This exchange is akin to crossing over in higher organisms, result in genetic recombination of the bacterial DNA. This increases genetic diversity of the bacteria cells in the population. This genetic diversity improves the population's success in adapting to changes in the environment.

How is RNA and DNA different
Shkiper50 [21]

-DNA is double stranded,RNA is one stranded

-DNA contains the following nitrogenous bases:Adeninde Guanine Timine Citozine while RNA contains Adeninde Guanine Citozine and Uracil

-DNA function is to contain the information for manufacturing proteins while there are many types of RNA with whole different jobs for example:messanger RNA(mRNA) it coppies a sequence from the DNA strand and takes it to the ribosome in order to be translated as the order for placing aminoacids in the polypeptide strand;transport RNA(tRNA) it is a short RNA strand containing up to 100 nucleotides it takes aminoacids to the ribosome so the polypeptides strand can start to be manufatured from aminoacids in an order inscripted in the mRNA.
