What is an example of micro evolution in organisms?

An example of microevolution in organisms is the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Through repeated exposure to antibiotics, bacteria may develop genetic mutations that confer resistance to the drug, allowing those bacteria to survive and reproduce, leading to the evolution of a population that is no longer susceptible to the antibiotic.


What is a uniceullar organism that does not have a nucleus?

All the bacteria and archea are unicellular organisms without nucleus. For example streptococcus pneumoniae is one of them. Unicellular organisms, such as these bacteria, are referred to as Prokaryotic, or as Prokaryotes. These terms refer to all cells and Unicellular organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. They contrast to eukaryotes, which do have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. For example, humans are made of eukaryotic cells,

Is pathogenic bacteria capable of causing infection?

Bacteria can be pathogens, but there are also many other types of pathogens. Bacteria are specific types of single celled organisms. Some bacteria cause disease, some do not. There are also lots of other types of organisms which can cause disease. These include, viruses, fungi, protozoa, yeast. Any organism that can cause disease is called a pathogen. (And yes, there is some debate about whether a virus is an organism. If it is not an organism then it would be classified as a toxin rather than a pathogen.)


Distinguish among pathogenic deficiency hereditary and physiological disease?

Pathogenic diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Deficiency diseases occur due to a lack of essential nutrients in the diet. Hereditary diseases are inherited from one or both parents due to genetic mutations. Physiological diseases are related to the functioning of the body's organs and systems.

What are similarities between infectious and noninfectious diseases?

infectious diseases involve a causative organism, from groups such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and such. Noninfectious diseases are not caused by a specific infectious organism. You get an infective disease from a bacteria or a virus or even a fungus. Other diseases are not caused by these but by other things. For example: cancer.
