Briefly describe how the concept of species is different between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Prokaryotes do not breed among themselves so it is difficult to figure out what organism they came from. Also, they have similar characteristics so that is probably how their early ancestors looked like. Eukaryotes do breed among themselves so we can pinpoint through genes what organism they came from (eg. parent, grandparent)
____ _____ is the system of communication where bacteria can recognize the density of a population.
Quorum sensing
