Answer:
The correct answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell
Explanation:
A bacteria is called transformed when it consist a genetic material that is not it's own but taken from outside the cell. So transformation of bacterial cell defines the uptake of foreign DNA by bacterial cell from its surrounding.
This transformation in bacteria is necessary because it provides bacteria some new and extra genes that help it to survive in the adverse and changing environment.
Transformation can result in getting the antibiotic-resistant gene to the bacteria which protect the bacteria from antibiotics during infection when antibiotic is used against it.
So the right answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell.
In the adults, the growth rate slows with age. The healing mechanism of the different cells if damaged is different than that of the younger ones. If a cartilage is damage in the adults, the chondrocytes which are still surviving secrete more extracellular matrix in order to heal the damaged cartilage. The chondrocytes cells are present in the cartilage, and they function to maintain the cellular matrix of the cartilage.
Metamorphosis through which the insect develops by four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult. A type of metamorphosis in which an organism's transformation is so dramatic that it is difficult to recognize the relationship between the larva and adult form.
Option 4) Metamorphosis
