Answer:
a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
Explanation:
Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.
Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.
Answer:
Bodies of ice and rock that orbit the Sun and produce a coma and tail of vapor and dust when near the Sun
Explanation:
So if you go to the NASA dictionary it states:
Comet- cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbit the Sun.
So it is most definitely the second option
Have a great day :D
Answer:
Bacteriophages that induce bacterial cell lysis are called virulent phages.
Explanation:
Bacteriophages correspond to viruses with an affinity for prokaryotic cells to be used as hosts for replication. They act both by invading the bacterial cell and by introducing their genetic material into it.
Some bacteriophages are capable of lysing or destroying the host bacterial cell after replication of their genetic material, receiving the name of virulent phages.
Commonly, genes from bacteria are inserted into a crop's chromosomes to produce pesticide substances to kill insects
For drought, I'm not fully sure, but Maize is a very drought resistant crop often introduced to communities which receive little rainfall. Maybe they take a gene from the maize crop and insert it into the chromosomes
