Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.1SC
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “the microbial cells in the body are a thousand times more than the human cells” is true or false.
Introduction: A collection of all microbes that reside in all surfaces, including the body of a human, is called the microbiome. Microbiome includes bacteria, viruses, protozoa, archaea, and

Be Like Charles Darwin Direction: Read and answer the given tasks. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) is known for his theory of evolution by natural selection. He proposed the idea of natural selection to explain how species change over time. Below is the summary of Darwin's idea of natural selection. 1. In nature, organisms overproduce to survive. 2. In any population, the members have a variety of traits. They may differ, for example, in color, size, or speed. 3. Individuals with certain variations, such as a useful camouflage, or speed, survive in their environment. Then, they pass those variations to the next generation. 4. Eventually, offspring with specific adaptations make up majority of the population and may look completely different from their ancestors.arrow_forwardIdentify and name the disease in which the patient’s cells lose the property of contact inhibition.
