Answer;

-Antibiotic resistance.

Explanation;

-Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotic.

-Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population.  Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange.

-Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

Why can polyploidy individuals lead to speciation fairly quickly?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

In species with polyploid, there are more chromosomal sets than in diploid one. Becouse there are more chromosomal structures available,  events like mutation, recombination, DNA lose, are more probable to occur.

As the generations pass, the accumulation of these changes tend polyploid to speciation.

Somebody explain this in short?
Olenka [21]

significant digits are certain digits that give detail in a number

ex. in the number 400 it is the 4 because it tells you how many hundreds are in the number, in the number 49.92 it would be all of them because they all help understand the number

Do you get it?

Looking through a light microscope at a dividing cell, you see two separate groups of chromosomes on opposite ends of the cell.

You would be witnessing Meiosis because cells that divide with chromosomes are sex cells and meiosis occurs in sex cells
