B) the less porous, the less permeable
Porous means "full of holes."
Permeable means "stuff can go through it."
The more porous something is, the more permeable it is.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- C.
Explanation:
The bacteria can transfer its genetic material through three processes: transformation, conjugation and transduction. The process of conjugation takes place through the formation of the conjugating tube formed of the pili, the membrane extensions of the bacteria.
These pili are known as fertility pili or F-pili as they transfer the F-plasmid or fertility plasmid from the F⁺ bacteria containing the F-plasmid to the F⁻ cells or the bacterial cells which lack the F-plasmid.
Thus, option- C is the correct answer.
