The answer is <span>microorganisms have rapid cell cycle.

Microorganisms are much simpler and much smaller organisms than humans. Because of their size and complexity, they reproduce in extremely rapid pace. For example, E. coli population is able to double each 20 minutes. This is, of course, not the case with humans.
For the mutation to become established, there must pass a few generations. So, if a useful mutation establishes in E. coli cell, in 20 minutes it will be present in the next generation, in 40 minutes it will be present in the generation after that, and so on. In the humans, years (not minutes) are necessary for the mutation to be passed down to the first generation. It needs less time to establish a mutation in E. coli than in humans.</span>

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Perhaps the most amazing thing about mitosis is its precision, a feature that has intrigued biologists since Walther Flemming first described chromosomes in the late 1800s (Paweletz, 2001). Although Flemming was able to correctly deduce the sequence of events in mitosis, this sequence could not be experimentally verified for several decades, until advances in light microscopy made it possible to observe chromosome movements in living cells. Researchers now know that mitosis is a highly regulated process involving hundreds of different cellular proteins. The dynamic nature of mitosis is best appreciated when this process is viewed in living cells.

Levart [38]

Answer:

point mutation missense mutation silent mutation non sense mutation

Explanation:

point mutation it change one base of DNA in this case nucleotide substitution occur like sickle cell missense mutation in this case replacement of one nucleotide nonsense mutation cause the replacement of codon silent mutation does not change the sequence of protein because of new triplets codes for the same amino acid
