Answer: They evolve through genetic drift.

Explanation: <u>Junk DNA refers to noncoding sections of a genome</u>. It consists of repeated segments scattered randomly throughout the genome generated through transposition or movement of sections of DNA to different positions in the genome.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. This process is caused by spontaneous mutations and may cause the alleles to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation. <u>Many of these genetic alterations are in regions of "junk DNA"</u>

List 3 possible futures for the universe
Marina86 [1]

1 possible future is The Big Crunch. This theory assumes that the average density of the universe will be enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting.

2. Some theorists state that the expansion of the universe will go on forever, and if that happens, the universe will cool as it expands, and then it will become too cool to sustain life.

3. The Big Rip. The universe may keep expanding, as I mentioned before. But as it expands, the gravity may not be able to hold all the planets together, as it is now. Galaxies would tear apart first, followed by smaller black holes, planets and stars. Eventually, space would start expanding faster than the speed of light, and atoms would start breaking down into super small particles and everything would fall into nothing.

Explain how bacteria are both helpful and harmful to our bodies.
nexus9112 [7]

This is the exact answer:

Bacteria are helpful because they produce oxygen, which our bodies need to breathe, and they help us to digest the food we eat. Bacteria are also helpful because they are used in medicine to help us overcome disease. Bacteria are harmful because they can cause tooth decay and illnesses that can be either common or quite serious.
