Answer:

The correct answer will be option A.

Explanation:

The bacteria organize its genetic material in the single circular chromosome suspended in the cytosol along with additional circular double-stranded DNA molecule called plasmid.

The plasmid is present as a separate structure in the cytoplasm which performs important functions during stressful conditions in the bacteria like providing antibiotic resistance to the bacteria, formation of filial factors during conjugation and many others.

The plasmid which confers resistant to the bacteria is known as the R-plasmid. The R-plasmid consists of r-determinants which confers antibiotic resistance to the bacteria and resistance transfer factor (RTF) which helps in plasmid transfer.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

How does one determine the number of protons, neutrons, electrons in an atom
KengaRu [80]

Remember that the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of protons you have to look and see the atomic mass of the atom is equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of neutrons you have too subtract the atomic mass to the atomic number.

Example:

You want to find out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in Platinum:

  • Atomic number is equal to the number of protons:
  • 78 = 78
  • So platinum has 78 protons and electrons.
  • Subtract atomic mass to atomic number:
  • 195 - 78 = 117 (forgetting about the decimals)

So platinum has "78 protons, and electrons, and has 117 neutrons."

Hope this helps!
