Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) is mainly seen in bacteria. Bacteria exchange their genetic material from the horizontal gene transfer method. There are three methods in HGT- conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

In conjugation, the bacteria exchange their plasmid through sex pilus. In transformation, bacteria take up other's genetic material from its environment and in transduction virus-mediated gene transfer occurs.  

Therefore in bacteria and nucleus, the genetic material exchange can occur only through HGT.

Hatshy [7]
A muscle fiber will respond to a stimulus when that stimulus reaches the threshold level. These local classified potentials which are mainly related with external stimuli extent the axon preliminary segment and construct up to they manage to extent the threshold value. The bigger the stimulus the larger the depolarization or try to reach threshold.
