Both of the following are correct: They have extremely short generation times and large populations; They can exchange DNA with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer.

What is the ultimate source of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations. These have quite a few different causes. Sexual reproduction is a "more recent source" {beginning 600 million years ago} of genetic variability. The process of sharing genetic information, coupled with the random crossing and mixing of genetic information during the creation of a new organism, leads to another source of genetic variability.
What is the source of genetic variation?
Mutation.
Are the body's primary and immediate source of energy?
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and immediate source of energy.
What process provides the genetic variability that natural selection acts on during evolution?
The ultimate source of variation is mutation. However, recombination, or crossing over, can produce enormous amounts of variation by shuffling alleles into different combinations. Combined, the two processes produce the variation upon which natural selection can act, and which results in evolution.
How can mutations affect protein synthesis in cells What is the result?
Mutations can be a source of genetic
What are the sources of genetic variation in bacteria and humans?

Was hybridization the ultimate source of genetic variability?
Often in reproduction, broken chromosomes are formed by random natural factors. When these combine with other chromosomes, new characteristics can be formed which are different from the Natural Chromosomes.
