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.

n mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele (coats are n
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2

Explanation:

In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele where coats are normally brownish.

A dwarf female from a pure line will have Xd Xd where d represent the  recessive trait and the female is also brownish (pp).

A pink male from a pure line will be XPY where P represent the dominant allele but not a dwarf (D).

            Xd             Xd                            Xp          Xp

XD       XDXd        XDXd             XP    XPXp     XPXp    F1 generation

Y           XdY           XdY                Y     XpY        XpY

P        XDXd   x    XdY                        XPXp    x    XpY

           XD         Xd                               XP              Xp

Xd     XDXd    <u>XdXd</u>                  Xp    <u>XPXp</u>         XpXp         F2 generation

Y        XDY        XdY                   Y       XPY          XpY

The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2
