Answer:

Sexual reproduction

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction, the same genes are transferred to the next generation because there is no combination of genes takes place so the rate of variation is very less in asexual reproduction and in sexual reproduction combination of different genes from two different parents occurs which give rise to genetic variation.

So when the plant is put in an environment where harmful bacteria are present then it will prefer sexual reproduction to bring variation in its genome so that it can get the ability to fight against these pathogenic bacteria.  

The plants that reproduced asexually will be eradicated by pathogens because they can not get the new genes to fight against the pathogen due to lack of appropriate variation in their gene.

A researcher wants to introduce the human gene encoding tissue plasminogen activator (used to dissolve blood clots) into a mamma
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the given case, for the researcher to succeed, there is a need to place the gene next to the promoter sequence, which gets expressed in the mammary cells. The sequences of DNA, which illustrate that where the transcription of a gene by the RNA polymerase initiates is known as the promoter. These sequences are generally situated at the 5 prime terminals of the initiation site of transcription or are situated directly upstream.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Legionella tends to form biofilms and infect other microbial cells as intracellular pathogens.

Explanation:

The Legionella genus of the bacteria is a group of gram-negative bacteria that can cause legionnaires disease.

The<em> Legionella pneumophila</em> is a species of this genus which can cause legion pneumonia. The bacteria lives in the freshwater and is resistant to chemical treatment like chlorine and the biocide treatment.

The reason for this resistance is since this species form a polysaccharide layer around the colony of the bacteria which is resistant to these treatments and also the bacteria prove parasitic to the protozoans which feed on these bacteria.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
