Insects and bacteria are said to evolve faster than some more complex animals because they reproduce faster. Simply put the more offspring you can make, the faster they mature and make new offspring with selected genes, then the faster they can evolve.

What Species of bacteria can evolve more quickly than species of mammals because bacteria have?

Bacteria can evolve more quickly than mammals because they have shorter generation times, larger population sizes, and the ability to exchange genetic material through horizontal gene transfer. These factors allow bacteria to adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions and develop resistance to antibiotics.

No.


Why do leaves rot so quickly in the rainforests?

Leaves rot very quickly in the rainforest because bacteria thrive here. Bacteria are responsible for decomposing organic material in the environment.


What are clusters of bacteria called?

Bacteria that multiply quickly and have no motility form colonies in a cluster. However, so bacteria that have motility do not form clusters.


Does natural selection deal with only plants?

No, all life evolves. Bacteria evolve, viruses evolve, protists evolve, plants evolve, fungi evolve and animals evolve. Evolution is driven by Natural Selection. So, no. The evolution of all life on Earth is driven by Natural Selection: all bacteria, plants, animals, mammals, fish, insects, biochemical pathways, behaviours et cetera evolve by Natural Selection.


When to evolve nidorino?

Oddly, you can evolve it quickly by exposing it to a Moon Stone.


Why are some bacterial diseaes becoming more difficult to treat?

as bacterium are very simple life forms, they are able to evolve very quickly. not really becoming more complex, but changing. this is the reason people catch colds every winter. if the bacteria didn't evolve, we would become immune to it. this means developing a new vaccine every year.some bacteria and viruses evolve slower than others, so some vaccines last years, whilst others last months


Why do scientists have to find a new antibiotic to kill bacteria?

After releasing enough of one type of antibiotic onto some bacteria, given enough time the bacteria will adapt, and even change to be unaffected by the given antibiotic. The only way to inhibit the bacteria then is find a new, better antibiotic, after which, given enough time and exposure, the bacteria will get used to this antibiotic, so there is again a need for a new one.


Why is it important that scabs can form?

So the bacteria doesn't go in and the scab has to form quickly so the cut can heal.


Why doesn't bacteria have their DNA encased in a nuclear envelope?

They are prokaryotes so did not evolve in the same way as eukaryotes. Bacteria are "simpler" organisms but have a highly complicated structure of their own
