The answer is; C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

Fudgin [204]

Answer: The great molecular biologist and Nobel laureate Francois Jacob has stated that the human brain has a built-in need for order. From earliest times, human beings looked out and recognized cycles, repetitive patterns in nature—day following night, the seasons, tides, lunar cycles, plant succession, animal migration—that conferred the ability to predict their recurrence, and thus people acquired a semblance of understanding of and control over the cosmic forces impinging on their lives.

What does it mean when scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code?
lesya [120]
When scientists say they share a universal genetic code it means that all organisms it can mean either DNA as the main source of hereditary information in all life forms we know of  or more likely that all organisms we know of use a three base pair code for the synthesis of proteins, DNA produces mRNA. This mRNA is read three base pairs at a time by a ribosome and this is called the genetic code.

What does Donor means in coordinate​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Donor coordination is meant to counteract this and has become an important item on the international development agenda.The underlying reason for this is the growing pressure to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of development cooperation exerted, on the one hand, by the ambitious Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the comprehensive poverty reduction strategies being pursued by many low-income countries and, on the other hand, by scarce development cooperation resources.
