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.

Which description best explains Watson and Crick's DNA model? DNA is a single–stranded molecule that has nitrogenous bases towar
inysia [295]
<span>The discoverers of DNA were not James D Watson and Francis Crick. They are the first scientist to formulate an accurate description of the DNA’s (deoxyribonucleic acid) complex , double-helical structure. They discovered that base pairing nucleotides must be; adenine and thymine; and cytosine and guanine. These base pairs are held together by a hydrogen bond, atype of chemical reaction that s easy to break and easy to reform. The statement is “DNA is a double helix made of two strands linked together with hydrogen bonds.”</span>
