The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A)nothing, the genetic variation will stay the same
B)the genetic variation will decrease
C)the genetic variation will increase
<span>D)this type of gene transfer is impossible in eukaryotes
</span>
I believe the correct answer is option C. If two eukaryotes participate in lateral gene transfer, then the  genetic variation will increase. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The selenium particles when coated on paper towels were extremely effective and continuously inhibited (about a 90% reduction) the growth of gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus and S. epidermidis after 24, 48, or 72 hours.

Considering that nearly 85 percent of corn crops are genetically engineered, which impact does genetically engineered corn have
atroni [7]
Genetically modified crops are genetically engineered such that a desired trait is enhanced or reproduced to appear in every offspring. Genetically engineered corn has been engineered to resist pests and herbicides; thus, we have more yield and many people especially in the low class society can afford. A disadvantage, yet is still a debate, is that genetically engineered crops such as corn, has toxic effects to internal organs such as our liver, a vital internal organ.
