8 0

Answer:

A gene is a unit of hereditary information. ... The short answer is that an allele is a variant form of a gene. Explained in greater detail, each gene resides at a specific locus (location on a chromosome) in two copies, one copy of the gene inherited from each parent. The copies, however, are not necessarily the same.

How students are disscussing natural selection in bacteria
Elis [28]
Antibiotics are, initially, molecules naturally synthesized by microorganisms to fight against bacteria competing with their environment. This created a pressure of selection on the bacterial populations, leading to the appearance of resistant strains. In fact, when an antibiotic is used, only bacteria with defense systems against this molecule survive (and reproduce).

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs)
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs). ROSs can damage mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria generate more ROSs than healthy mitochondria. This is an example of a positive feedback mechanism

The reactive oxygen species that are given out by the mitochondria during cellular respiration are the major cause of aging. Though this has a lot of negative effects but this also has a small amount of positive effects such as the start of angiogenesis or cell proliferation.
