Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from

Biology
1 answer:
zmey [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

Gene recombination refers to the mixture of genes from different individuals that occurs during sexual reproduction. Gene recombination is responsible for mixing between genes, which results in genetic variation in a bacterial population.

Genetic variability in a bacterial population occurs through three types of mechanisms: transformation, conjugation and transduction. However this genetic variation does not occur through Meiosis.

Transformation is the incorporation of free DNA by the bacterial cell. Conjugation is the process of transferring DNA from one bacterium to another, involving contact between the two cells. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material between cells, mediated by bacteriophages.

The correct answer is that a bacteriophage lambda chromosome containing the human collagen gene, because Recombinant DNA is the name given to DNA molecules that have part of DNA derived from two or more sources, usually these sources are different species. Recombinant DNA technology is also known as molecular cloning or even gene cloning.

B. A bacteriophage lambda chromosome containing the human collagen gene

<h3>How is recombinant DNA produced?</h3>

Obtaining recombinant DNA is based on the molecular cloning technique. The process can be summarized as follows:

  1. The first step is to isolate a DNA fragment, which contains the gene of interest. Remember that each gene makes a protein.
  2. The gene of interest, now isolated, is placed in a medium with a fragment of circular bacterial DNA, the plasmid and the restriction enzymes.
  3. The bacterial plasmid has the ability to insert a fragment of DNA external to its own genome.

<h3>What is DNA and what is it for?</h3>

DNA is the structure responsible for the transmission of all genetic characteristics — such as eye, skin and hair color, physiognomy, among others — in the process of reproduction of living beings. Thus, the main function of DNA is to transport information contained in its sequences, called genes.
