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.

Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations as opposed to individuals.​
RSB [31]

Answer:

Natural selection can be described as a phenomenon in which individuals of a population which are better adapted to survive in an environment are favored by nature as compared to the individuals of the population which lack better characteristics to survive in the environment.

Through natural selection, evolution occurs and the allelic frequency changes over a period of time. The process of evolution as well as change in the allelic frequencies does not occur just by a single individual, rather it is a collective effort which takes a lot of time. Hence, we say that natural selection changes the population and not a single individual.

How are energy and information used to keep an organism's body organized?
JulsSmile [24]

How are energy in information used to

keep an organisms body organized

Energy is required for the cells to carry

out their metabolic functions. Moreover,

information (genetic information) is also

fundamental to synthesize and regulate

biomolecules required for the cells to

carry out their functions.

All cells need energy to carry out

their metabolic functions. i.e., to

live, grow, and reproduce.

(hope this helps)
