Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:

Biology
1 answer:
Mice21 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

What is the importance of the amniotic egg?
Alja [10]

Answer: The amniotic egg was an evolutionary invention that allowed the first reptiles to colonize dry land more than 300 million years ago. Fishes and amphibians must lay their eggs in water and therefore cannot live far from water. But thanks to the amniotic egg, reptiles can lay their eggs nearly anywhere on dry land.

Sea otters use stones and rocks to break open abalone shells in order to eat the flesh inside. a young sea otter observes other
Vanyuwa [196]
The type of learning that the young sea otter used to be able to perform this task is social learning.
This means that the young otter learned what it is supposed to do from its surroundings - and what is surrounding it is its society of other otters. It is social learning because the otter didn't learn on its own that it needs to break open shells in order to eat what is inside, but rather it saw what the other otters were doing and thus learned it.
