Document Summary

It is bioluminescent and they have collective intelligence. Individual bacterium know that it doesn"t make sense for just one of them to glow as light from one single cell wouldn"t be seen. If there is a lot of them in a small space if their concentration is high they can detect that. So then they turn on their gene for bioluminescent. Mendel"s wrinkled seed are caused by a transposon like insertion in a gene encoding starch . Example of biological mutagen caused mutation. Cell in the centre has a choice between the one on the left or the one on the right.
