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.

Why can't more than one sperm enter an egg?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days. </span>
