Conjugation is a very effective process for spreading antibiotic resistance among diverse bacterial populations such as those fo

und in the mammalian gut. Which statement best explains this observation?
A) Conjugative plasmids can be transferred to a bacteriophage.
B) Two different species of bacteria can share DNA, including antibiotic-resistance genes, during conjugation.
C) Conjugation is the only source of genetic variation in bacterial cells.
D) Conjugative plasmids cause a bacterial cell to reproduce more quickly, which increases the rate of evolution and the appearance of antibiotic resistance.

Answer:

B) Two different species of bacteria can share DNA, including antibiotic-resistance genes, during conjugation.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a process by which bacteria can exchange their genetic material between them. So through conjugation, the antibiotic-resistant gene coded by plasmid can be transferred through sex pilus to another bacteria.

So due to conjugation two different species of bacteria can share DNA which can include antibiotic-resistant genes. Therefore, through conjugation genetic variation and evolution are favored in bacteria. So due to this reason conjugation is a very important process in bacteria to spread antibiotic-resistant genes.

When the cell duplicates chromosomes and separates into two separate nuclei, the cell is said to be in what phase?
Leviafan [203]
S PHASE

<span>Cell division involves the different phases such as G1, G2, M and S phase. Cell division is the mechanism of cells to divide into other cells. Two types of cell division is popularly called the mitosis and meiosis. There basic difference is how they function and how many chromosomes their daughter cells have. </span>

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form
