The role of symbiotic bacteria in reproductive isolation and in the origins of multicellular animals.

Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The adaptive potential confers by the microorganism depends upon a number of different mechanism. The relative abundance of microorganisms which are associated with the host shows an efficient change during environmental pressures shift. The adaptive variation has a tendency to introduce new symbionts. The genomic change caused by the recombination or random mutation incorporate more rapidly in microbial symbiont comapre to the host. Probably their is a horizontal gene transfer occurs between the members of symbiotic community. Symbionts can cause the reproductive isolation, in this isolation interbreeding is prevented between the holobiont populations. The presence of microorganism in a species specially in the cytoplasm of the cell and absence in another, can prevent the formation of a viable hybrid. Data suggests that symbionts may cause the genetic incompatibility, and acts as a reproductive barrier.
The evolution of multicellularity is also associated with the symbionts. The first evidence of multicellularity is from cyanobacteria-like organisms around 3-3.5 billion years ago. The cell organelles mitochondria and chloroplast also share a number of similarities with bacterial cells, indicate the origin of multicellular organism.
Thus it is concluded that symbiotic bacteria play an important role in reproductive isolation and also in the origins of multicellular animals as explained in the above section.

To do so would be impossible as most genes contain over 1000 nucleotides that code for several hundred omino acids which are joined together to form proteins. This activity gives small segments of DNA in each of these genes and DOES demonstrate actual mutations that do occur within them. Gene 1. Beta Hemoglobin Gene (HBB Gene) is an important gene located on human chromosome 11 shown below. This gene plays an important role in the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen in your blood.
