The correct answer is option A) The DNA in one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria.

Phylogenetic trees are very helpful in tracing lineages and categorizing the animals on the basis of their genetic makeup so that evolutionary relationships between organisms may be established. The DNA of one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria by a process known as horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is also known as lateral gene transfer. In HGT, the transfer of DNA does not occur through lateral gene transfer like in case of transfer of DNA from parents to progenies. We consider parents as the most closely related to the progenies because their DNA is more or less same as that of progenies. But in HGT, a bacteria can transfer its genes to a totally unrelated strain of bacteria  via conjugation, transformation or transduction. Since the DNA is being incorporated to an unrelated strain, in a phylogenetic tree the unrelated strain will show up as a related strain to the bacteria from which is has received the DNA through HGT even though it is unrelated. This is how it will create hurdle in tracing lineages and classifying bacteria.

What is the correct way to analyze a term that means "softening of the cartilage"?
Ber [7]

Chondromalacia is the synonymous of the cartilage softening (chondro = cartilage, malacia = soft). It's a pathology of softening affecting the joints and more particularly those of the knee (kneecap and femur).

This anomaly can be observed in several circumstances:

• the first is that of direct trauma. It is the cartilaginous lesion occurring before the fracture (fissure) of the cartilage.

• the second is that of common osteoarthritis. It is highly likely that the first stage of osteoarthritis begins with edema (swelling of the cartilage or closed chondropathy) that makes the cartilage less resistant and more vulnerable; this soft cartilage can then crack on its surface (open chondropathy) and these cracks will be more difficult to heal.
