Passive diffusion is a form of passive transport and a type of diffusion by which particles from a high concentration gradient passes through a biological membrane to a low concentration gradient. Diffusion, or simple diffusion on the other hand, is the passage of molecules without the need of a membrane.
The right matches are:
• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).
• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.
• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.
• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.
• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).
In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.
There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.
The oxygen cycle can be found in all but the geosphere. There's oxygen in the atmosphere, so it has to be there, and the biosphere includes living things, which breathe oxygen, and water (hydrosphere) is made up of partly hydrogen, so there has to be oxygen there as well.
Dna extration from a onion and from a cauliflower would be different because even though all DNA is composed by the same nucleotides (A, T, C and G), the sequence of their genes will be different. That difference is why a cauliflower doesn't look like a onion. The cauliflower has genes that, when expressed, make the organism look like cauliflower and nothing else..
