Question

Despite prokaryotic microbes being invisible to the naked eye, Rob Dunn and his team understood that they were likely to find such microbes on their test subjects since prokaryotic microbes can reproduce rapidly and thrive on the human body. What other advantages do prokaryotes have as a result of their rapid reproduction?a. the ability to quickly evolve to survive harsh environmentsb. abilitytobecomeoneofthelargestorganisminourecosystemc. ability to become highly abundant in most ecosystemsd. the most important organism in an ecosystem

Answer 1

Answer: c. ability to become highly abundant in most ecosystems.

Explanation:

The prokaryotic microbes are small tiny creates which remain invisible to the naked eyes. These require special instruments to be observed. The reproduce at a considerable rate and they have the tendency to spread all over the world in a short time. Their reproduction is simple that is division of the parent cell into daughter cells. This facilitates their abundance in most ecosystems initiating with colonization in living organisms.

The given situation indicates that rapid reproduction facilitates the microbes to become abundant in the ecosystem.
