Answer: Genetically similar

Explanation:

Conjugation can be defined as the process by which bacteria transfers the genetic material through a tube like material between two cells.

This method of gene transfer provides genetic variability to the bacterial cell by giving bacteria antibiotic resistant gene and making it an antibiotic resistant bacterial cell.

So, if the cell is unable to perform conjugation, there will be no genetic variability in the bacterial cell.

The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar

What is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of

34kurt

Answer:

25116 J

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ΔT

c = 4.186 J/g°C

M=200 g

So,

Q = 200 × 4.186 × (40-10)

=200 × 4.186 × 30

=25116 J
