Answer:

C. Mutations increase the genetic diversity in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Explanation:

It is a well-established fact that mutations increase the genetic diversity in living organisms (especially if they are positive mutations). The positive and faster mutations will help the organism to develop better traits for survival in the changing environments.

The other options are incorrect because of the following reasons:

A. Eukaryotes don't do gene transfer via conjugation.

B. Eukaryotic species don't experience a greater rate of mutations as compared to the prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have a faster mutation rate. This is the reason that microbes can adapt to changing environments faster than humans or other multicellular organisms.

D. As mentioned above, sexually reproducing eukaryotic species evolves slower than the asexually reproducing species. For example, evolution in bacteria (e.g. drug resistance) is faster than any organism belonging to eukaryotic lineage.

The correct answer is a colon.
<span>
The bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract is very diverse, especially in the large intestine (colon) which has the richest microflora. The main types of microorganisms in the colon are obligate anaerobes, and the most abundant bacteria are Bacteroides.

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is
Vesna [10]
This question is in the context of research. The answer is directional or one-tailed hypothesis. This is because the researchers have specific hypothesis that predicts the direction of the experimental effect (i.e. the researcher expects that alcohol consumption slows reaction time). The researcher will then formulate a null hypothesis (H0) that suggests that alcohol does not slow reaction time and another alternative hypothesis (HA) that suggests that alcohol slows reaction time.
