There are thousands of bacterial species and they are not identical towards one another, therefore there forms are quite unique. so its just there characteristics that make up how bacteria look like.
Hope this answers your question.
Flowering plants are the most successful land plants because theri seeds are protected in fruits
For example: GGATACCTAGGTAAT
Insertion: GGAT<u>G</u>ACCTAGGTAAT
a nucleotide that was not present before is inserted into the original sequence
Substitution: <u>C</u>GATACCTAGGTAAT
the first nucleotide was substituted in for another (C for G)
Frameshift (basically a insertion or deletion, we'll try deletion here): GATACCTAGGTAAT
the first nucleotide was deleted, causing the reading frame to be shifted (instead of GGA as the first codon, we have GAT)
