Answer:

horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) can be defined as a non-sexual process that enables the exchange of genetic information between genomes. Although HGT mainly occurs between prokaryotic genomes, an increasing number of examples involving eukaryotic host genomes have recently been described. <em>Agrobacterium</em> bacteria are capable of transferring and integrating DNA into the genome of eukaryotic cell hosts by the HGT mechanism. The transference of genetic material via <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation is widely used in biotechnology to generate plants with desired genetic sequences. In the last years, it has been shown that various bacterial species including <em>Bartonella henselae</em>  <em>Rhizobium etli</em> or even <em>Escherichia coli</em>, are able to genetically transform eukaryotic cells under laboratory growth conditions. The genetic phenomenon of horizontal gene transfer has evolutionary significance since it enables to bypass barriers between kingdoms in order to acquire nucleotide sequences that may eventually have some adaptive advantage. Moreover, the mechanism of horizontal transfer challenges a narrow vision of the eukaryotic genome as a fixed entity.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Corbin recently found out that he has cancer, and he now strictly follows a treatment, diet, and exercise program that the doctor thinks will be helpful in keeping the cancer from spreading. These behaviors best illustrate <u>problem-focused</u> coping.

Explanation:

Problem-focused coping seeks to tackle the stressor head-on allowing the individual greater perceived control over their problem resulting in :

  • Managing and changing the stressor
  • Use if problem seems alterable
  • Confrontice coping
  • Planful problem solving

As Cobbin is strictly following treatment, diet and exercise programs that the doctor thinks will be helpful in keeping the cancer from spreading, Cobbin is showing <u>problem-focused coping.</u>
