Relationship between Organisms and the Environment
The organisms have an interrelationship with the environment. They undergo specific mutations to adapt to the conditions in that environment. For instance, Penny Chisholm found that Prochlorococcus underwent mutations to suit the specific ocean bodies' properties where they became isolated (Chisholm, 2014). The research revealed from the analysis of the isolated DNA sequence that over 100000 different variants of Prochlorococcus are genetically different and have unique properties. Depending on the environmental conditions such as specific weather patterns and climate, living organisms undergo mutations to survive into the specific existing conditions in their ecosystem (Chisholm, 2014). Generally, for stability and sustenance of life within the ecosystem, the living organisms are interde...
