Bacteria can adapt to changes in the environment by means of mutation alone because a) they are so small in size. b) their populations are very isolated from one another. c) a bacterium is much more likely to mutate than a larger organism. d) they multiply so rapidly. 29.

A geneticist mixed together many different kinds of fruit flies-some with long wings, some with short wings, some with red eyes, some with brown eyes, and so on. He allowed the flies to feed, mate randomly, and reproduce by the thousands.

Critics like to point out that the theory of evolution is flawed because it is based on random changes-mutations.
