The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

Where is the Electron Transport System (ETS) located in prokaryotic cells?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Cellular membrane.

Explanation:

In prokaryotes electron transport chain isIn prokaryotes electron transport chain is located in the cell membrane. ETC is defined as the series of complexes which helps in the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via reduction, and oxidation reaction couple the transfer of protons with electron transport across a member.

The primary function of the ETC is generated a transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient, such as oxidation, and reduction reaction.

Diseases such as diphtheria result from a process called lysogenic conversion in which viral dna is integrated into a bacterial
bazaltina [42]
<span>The correct answer is horizontal gene transfer, transduction.</span>  

Transduction (a type of horizontal gene transfer)is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a bacteria cell. When viruses infect bacterial cells, their DNA is integrated into a bacterial chromosome and thus harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the bacteria. As a result, bacteria cell makes numerous virions (viral particles).
