Answer:
transformation
Explanation:
Transformation is one of the three methods of genetic recombinant in bacteria. The other two are transduction and conjugation. Transformation occurs when the bacterial cells take up the DNA and which in turn changes their phenotype.
Transformation requires that there should not be any cell to cell contact. In the experiments performed by Griffith, the heat-killed virulent S strains were mixed with live R strains. The R strain took the DNA of heat-killed S strains which in turn converted them into the virulent strains. Since this horizontal gene transfer did not include any cell-to-cell contact, he called the process transformation.
The answers are;
homeostasis
metabolism
heredity
movement
cells
sensitivity
reproduction
The other characteristics of living organisms include that are not among the choices are growth, adaptation, and interactions. These are characteristics shared by all living organisms whether large or small, complex or simple. They are born by a bacteria(simplest living organism) to humans (complex organisms).
Answer:
beneficial mutation
Explanation:
A mutation is any alteration in the genetic material of an organism. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness (or reproductive success) of the individual that carries this mutation; however, there are situations where a mutation may be beneficial for the individual in a given environment. When a beneficial mutation occurs in the germline, it potentially can be passed to the next generation and progressively increases its frequency in the population.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Compression of mortality refers to the reduction over time with regards to the variance of the age of people at death.
The extent to which the organ can help in preserving normal function despite the fact that there's a reduction in the number or cell activity is referred to as compression of morbidity.
When morbidity is compressed, it should be noted that individuals can be expected to live healthier and longer as well.
Therefore, the statement is false
