Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.
Answer:
<h2>a. 1000 X 2^8</h2>
Explanation:
As given;
Initial population of bacteria= 1000;
Log phase growth is exponential phase, period in which bacteria gets double.
Generation time= 15 minutes;
it means, bacteria get double in every 15 minute,
so after 2 hours, bacteria will have 8 generation times;
so the final generation of bacteria is =1000 X 2^8.
Final bacterial generation after two hours = 256,000(1000 X 2^8)
