Answer: New research shows that colonies of Escherichia coli can demonstrate a form of learning.
Explanation: Bacterial colonies can evolve the ability to anticipate changes in their immediate environment, say researchers led by Saeed Tavazoie at Princeton University in New Jersey. Other types of bacteria could too. This skill could give them the edge over other bacteria that merely adapt themselves to current conditions.
<span>The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure (formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole) with the function in the regulation of blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. Its primary components are:

<span>All of the following patterns were witnessed by Darwin except that species vary within very short spans of time. Charles Darwin put forth a coherent theory of evolution and amassed a great body of evidence in support of this theory. By the 19th Century, a number of natural historians were beginning to think of evolutionary change as an explanation for patterns observed in nature.</span>
