Answer:

Most microbes divide asexually but they have sex pilus which they use to transfer their genes to other bacteria. This process is called horizontal gene transfer(HGT). This is very important for evolution of any bacteria.  

For example most of the antibiotic resistant genes are transferred by this mechanism and these bacteria survive even when antibiotics are used against them.

In this case soil microbe a must undergone the process of transformation with multiple bacteria species which is common in soil bacteria therefore after analyses long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered.

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.

Charra [1.4K]
<span>Bacteria keep their shape by having a rigid cell wall, but they can be shaped and appear differently. There are three main shapes of bacteria: 1.) The Coccus bacteria is in a sphere shape. 2.) Spirillum bacteria is in a spiral shape. 3.) The Bacillus bacteria comes in a rod shape. Each of these bacteria can come in pairs, clusters or chains.</span>

The over-hunting of the Baleen Whales lowers the population significantly. Since Baleen Whales eat the penguins, less whales equals less penguins eaten; therefore the penguins' population remains about the same until breeding season, where a surplus of baby penguins are produced.

Answer:

Explanation:

Vertebrates are members of the kingdom Animalia and the phylum Chordata ((Figure)). Recall that animals that possess bilateral symmetry can be divided into two groups—protostomes and deuterostomes—based on their patterns of embryonic development. The deuterostomes, whose name translates as “second mouth,” consist of two major phyla: Echinodermata and Chordata. Echinoderms are invertebrate marine animals that have pentaradial symmetry and a spiny body covering, a group that includes sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. The most conspicuous and familiar members of Chordata are vertebrates, but this phylum also includes two groups of invertebrate chordates.

Deuterostome phylogeny. All chordates are deuterostomes possessing a notochord at some stage of their life
