Q

Describe the theory of evolution caused by natural selection?

A

Mutation causes variation within species
Individual with the advantageous features can survive and reproduce passing thier allelle to their offspring and increase in number

Q

Can you describe the antibiotic resistance in bacteria by natural selection?

A

Wrong use of antibiotic will result in bacteria undergoing mutation and devolp new allele cause antibiotic resistance
Non resistant bacteria will die
Resistant bacteria will survive, reproduce and pass their allele to their offspring

Q

Compare between mitosis and meiosis

A

Mitosis gives rise 2 genetically identical daughter cell but Meiosis causes variation
Mitosis have 2 daughter cells and full St of chromosome but meiosis rise 4 daughter cell ,mitosis happen in growth,tissue repair
,asexual reproduction but meiosis happen in sexual reproduction p
