Microorganism protect themselves against harmful UV light and visible light by using Iron minerals around themselves.
The iron minerals have unique properties in that they block damaging UV radiation while yet allowing organisms to utilise the portion of sunlight required for photosynthesis. UV rays kill cells by damaging their DNA. Two molecules of thymine, one of the bases that makes up DNA, react when exposed to light. The thymine dimer that results is extremely stable. The cell cannot perform its usual tasks if cellular processes are interfered as a result of an inadequate repair or unrepaired damage of thymine dimer.

A model organism is a species that has been widely studied to understand a particular biological phenomena, normally used because they are easy to breed and maintain in a laboratory setting and has certain experimental advantage.
The criteria that Thomas hunt Morgan was looking for include; the model organism should be small in size, easy to keep in the laboratory and also able to produce large number of off springs in a short time.
Polymorphic. Polymorphisms
refer to spasmodic genetic variation within the same species of an organism resulting in varying forms of the species. Polymorphic viruses, mutate at faster rates hence the virus
population is subject to high rates of turnovers. The high divergence of various
species, such as influenza, is as a result of 0.01 mutations per nucleotide site
per year.
All organisms arose from a single common ancestor.
An endosymbiont or endobiont is any organism that lives inside the frame or cells of some other organism most often, though no longer continually, in a mutualistic relationship.
Bacterial endosymbionts result in dramatic phenotypes in their arthropod hosts, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, parthenogenesis, male killing, parasitoid protection, and pathogen blocking.
Endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia, Rickettsia, and Cardinium, are a type of bacteria generally located in arthropod species inclusive of bugs, spiders, crustaceans, and mites, in addition to other invertebrates along with filarial nematodesEndosymbiosis is a form of symbiosis in which the symbiont lives in the body of its host and the symbiont in an endosymbiosis is known as an endosymbiont.
