Fossil fuels are commercially available as an energy source.
They are very easy to find. More and more extractions of fossil fuels is going on everyday. With advancement in science and technology, the refineries and extraction procedures have improved a lot. This makes their availability even better.
Fossil fuels are also easily combustible. Most combustion engines need to be powered with little amount of fuel to produce large amount of energy. Very large amounts of electricity can be generated from fossil fuels.
The gene transfer process in bacteria is also commonly known as the "horizontal gene transfer." In this process, the DNA of a bacteria is transferred from one bacterium to another virus, through a plasmid from a donor cell to a recipient cell.
