2. The Fusion of cell membranes and transfer of single strand of plasmid DNA of donor cell.
Explanation:
When one bacterium transfers its genetic material through direct contact to others. The bacterium transfers its genetic material called <u>donor cell</u> and one serves it called <u>recipient cell.</u>
There are mainly four steps in this process-
1. Connecting sex pilus to recipient cell by donor cell.
2. The Fusion of cell membranes and transfer of single strand of DNA to the recipient cell.
3. Each bacterium cell makes a complementary DNA strand.
Pangea was the supercontinent that had all the landmasses of earth together before the Triassic period and that broke up into Laurasia and Gondwanan. However, Panthalassa is a prehistoric ocean that was surrounding Pangea.
If a scientist is planning to carry out such an experiment it wouldn't be appropriate to go and test this right ahead without any serious protection. It is always advised that scientists first collect data after they've created their initial hypotheses and read the required literature.
