Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
<span>The species would decrease in number and eventually die off. </span>
<span>The correct answer is C.stability is genetic and cannot be improved. This is incorrect. Just think of when you ride a bike, it's not a genetic thing and anyone can learn it if they learn how to balance their center of gravity and their movement. It's not a genetic thing so only a few chosen people can ride a bike.</span>
