1. The genetic mutations in a bacterium. True, bacteria mutate to survive in new environments. Given the artificial product, nylon, mutation was required to digest it with newer enzyme proteins. But, note, there are 21 amino acids that form the building blocks for proteins. These have not changed since creation of the first organism, Preon, Virion, then Bacterion. The permutations and combinations of these basic amino acids result in the newer organisms we see today. The H1N1 flu virus mutates its protein coat often, causing minor winter epidemics in the month of October. Mutation is a part of evolution, but is NOT Evolution. For evolution to be defined, one must prove the birth of a male from a female, by asexual reproduction. That means, the female must bring forth a MALE offspring without conjugation or exchange of nuclear genetic material with any mate of the opposite sex. So, I wish you understand the difference between Evolution and Mutation. In the Medical World, we doctors have to change the medicines used in a patient every few days, in order to outsmart the Bacteria, because the bacteria quickly develop enzymes to destroy the medicine by mutation and exchange of genetic material by Conjugation. I remember during my Microbiology Class in the MBBS 4th Semester, Dr. Rajani Macadean said," Man Smart, but Bacteria Smarter!" as she started the class on the topic of bacterial mutation, and development of drug resistance. Man is smart too. "I raised my hand, and asked for permission to leave, saying I was not in good disposition. She allowed me, and I took a day off. It was fun in the college days. Addendum: Reyzinsi, a Star on your cap for your sharp intellect. I am sorry, u got 6 downs, but no worry, you are very right in your observations. I appreciate your answer most.
