Answer:

<h2>lack antibiotic resistant genes</h2>

Explanation:

Most of the bacterium contains plasmid. As given, if bacterium regenerates from an endospore that did not possess any of the plasmids so the generated bacterium also lack antibiotic resistant genes.

Plasmid are circular form of extra chromosomal DNA that contain genes for antibiotic resistant and genes for conjugation , and also for many other roles.

Plasmid replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA, and can be many in number. If the bacterium lacks plasmid so these bacterium also lack antibiotic resistant genes.
