a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
b) Gene order is a, b, then c.
c) Gene a is closer to c than to b.
d) Gene b is closer to c than to a.

Answer:

a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.

Explanation:

Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.

Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.

PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORTH 45 POINTS AND WILL MARK BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Tropical dry Climate: The weather is sunny pretty much all year. The ocean + the sun allows a tropical place to be great for growing food. Things such as coconuts and mangoes can be found. Its a great place to vacate because of the sunny climate, also clients will fall in LOVE with the warm beaches. Some activities would be to surf, sunbathe, and study the natrual habitat. The animals are also very interesting. Monkeys and chameleons would be great temporary pets to take care of.

I hope this was good enough, god bless you!!

Bone cell:
•
They are osteocytes
•Bone cells from a system of <em>infrastructure</em> in the skeletal system
•Bone cells have <em>thin</em> cytoplasmic branches.
Muscle cell:
•<em />They are myocytes
•Muscle cells provide an aid in the movement of the body by performing contraction and relaxation.
•Muscle cells do not have <em>thin </em>cytoplasmic branches (except for the cardiac muscle cells) 







Hope this helped! I listed three so that you can have a better idea.
