Answer:

Option B, Dd and Dd

Explanation:

It is given that deafness is a recessive trait.

Let the recessive trait be represented by "d"

Normal hearing is a dominant trait and let it be represented by "D"

It is given that Dr. Smith's parents have normal hearing , hence they can have genotype -

either Dd  X  DD

Or      Dd X Dd

but Dr. Smith has an inherited form of deafness , thus his genotype would be "dd". Considering the genotype of Dr. Smith , his parents would be having genotype Dd and Dd.

Thus option B is correct.

Here are the processes of bacterial transformation:

Explanation:

Bacterial transformation is defined as the change in the properties of bacteria which is caused by the introduction of foreign and naked DNA.

DNA is an hereditary material in organisms that contains their genetic information.

Here are the processes of bacterial transformation:

Step 1: Donor cell forms a Donor cell lyses

Step 2: Donor cell homologous binds to a receptor site on the recipient cell.

Step 3: One strand of donor cell DNA is degraded, and transformed DNA Pairs with homologous region on recipient cell.

Step 4: Finally, recombines with recipient cell chromosome
