Biology

harina [27]3 years ago

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genes across a generation as opposed to down generations in vertical gene transfer. Bacteria can transfer gene horizontally through mechanisms such as transformation and transduction. The ‘male’ bacteria develops pili that it inserts into the ‘female’ bacteria and transfers some genes. This result in recombinant DNA that confers some of the beneficial characteristics to the ‘female’ bacteria that were there in the ‘male’ bacteria. This is how a population of bacteria can develop resistance to an antibiotic really fast.

The statement that is true regarding the reactions that occur in the Calvin cycle is that it consumes energy.

<h3>What is Calvin cycle?</h3>

Calvin cycle of photosynthesis is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms.

The Calvin cycle also called light independent or dark reaction is the second stage of the photosynthetic process. It is so called because it does not require light to occur.

The Calvin cycle makes use of the products of the light stage (ATP and NADPH) to synthesize carbohydrates.

However, the series of reaction is an energy consuming one, which makes use of ATP to occur.

Therefore, the statement that is true regarding the reactions that occur in the Calvin cycle is that it consumes energy.
