Animals of the same species may have offspring with mutations. If these mutations are an advantage to the animal then it will survive to produce its own fertile offspring. More and more will have the mutation and therefore cause a variation.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a.Most bacteria and fungi are harmless and may be beneficial to other living things.

Explanation:

Bacteria and Fungi are two distinct organisms that belong to different class of organisms. Fungi are eukaryotic while bacteria are prokaryotic. Although they both exist in different life forms such as being parasitic, saprophytic etc. most bacteria and fungi species are harmless and may even be beneficial to other living things.

Bacteria and Fungi are beneficial to other organisms in the sense that they form mutualistic relationships with other living organisms. For example, certain species of bacteria helps to fix nitrogen in the root nodules of leguminous plants, while fungi forms a mutualistic relationship with algae called LICHEN where they benefit one another in a way or the other.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding engineering maize plants with a herbicide-resistance gene using Agrobacte
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.

Explanation:

Ti-plasmid has the ability to introduce part of its DNA (t-DNA) into the genome of host plants. This is very important for the relationship of genetic manipulation in maize plants, with the aim of inducing a gene that promotes herbicide resistance. In addition, T-DNA has many genes that code for the production of plant growth phytohormones, which is extremely important for the cloning process to work. In this case, we can assume that the correct answer for yours is the letter B.
