As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.
The type is off in a couple of places with half of the lines shifted over one space, so it makes it hard to read. Check the pic.
Chromosomes, which contain DNA, have several functions. All BUT ONE of these statements is a function of chromosomes. A) Chromosomes determine the traits of an organism. B) Chromosomes provide instructions to make proteins.
Law of conservation of mass states that overall mass can neither be created nor destroyed. It means, that mass in left hand side & right hand side of the reaction would always remains constant
Hope this helps!
