Answer: Transduction

Explanation:

This is a process acquired by bacteria like Vibrio cholerae to infect cells using genetic recombination process which occurs in bacteria when it incorporates its gene into the genome of a bacteriophage to gain access and infect the host cell after infection initiation by the bacteriophage.

The countercurrent heat exchanger that prevents arterial blood from overheating the testes is the ________
Ilya [14]
The countercurrent heat exchanger that prevents arterial blood from overheating the testes is the pampiniform plexus of veins. The pampiniform plexus helps to regulate testicular temperature, allowing sperm maturation. It surrounds the testicular arteries and works as a countercurrent heat-exchanger system to cool the arterial blood before entering the testes. This is because the sperms can not develop if the testis is at body temperature.

Explain how mitotic recombination leads to the mosaic condition termed twin spots.
postnew [5]

Answer:

If an individual Drosophila has two or more populations of cells comprising different genotypes from one single egg then it is termed as twin spots or mosaic.

Explanation:

There might be different reasons for mosaic to occur like

Nondisjunctioning of the chromosomes

Lag in anaphase

Endoreplication

Mutations in a single cell

Mitotic recombination:

One of the major ways through which mosaic or twin spots arise is the mitotic recombination. It is also termed as somatic cross over. Twin spot or mosaic generally occurs if there is linking of heterozygous genes in repulsion. The recombination generally happens among the centromeres from the adjacent genes.

A common example of the mitotic recombination is the Bloom's syndrome. Bloom's syndrome is caused due to the mutation that occurs in the <em>blm</em> gene. As a result, there are defects in the BLM protein produced.
