Kobotan [32]3 years ago

Conjugation and transformation are both kinds of horizontal gene transfer that allow a cell to receive and recombine external DNA. Conjugation involves physical contact between two bacteria using a pilus, through which a copy of plasmid DNA is transferred from the donor (F+) cell to the recipient (F-) cell. Transformation, on the other hand, is simple uptake of naked DNA into a recipient cell from the environment. The DNA usually comes from the leftovers of a dead cell.

Conjugation and transformation are both kinds of horizontal gene tranfer that allow the cell to receive and recombine external DNA. Conjugation as we know requires a physical contact between the two bacteria. Transformation requires a simple take of the naked DNA into the recipient cell from the environment.

Each cell has a structure that separates the inside of the cell from.the environment. What cell is this?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Either the cell wall or the cell membrane.

Explanation:

All cells have cell membranes which line the outside of the cell, and some cells have cell walls, which also line the outside of the cell. Since all cells have cell membranes I am inclined to believe that the correct answer would be cell membranes.

allsm [11]

Answer:

The correct option is <u><em>A. they evolved from land mammals.</em></u>

Explanation:

The process of evolution explains how closely one organism is to another based on their common ancestors. Scientists believe that those organisms which show many similarities in their structures or functions might have evolved from a common ancestor in the past.

As in the above-mentioned question, scientists have observed that cetaceans lack gills and breath air, this is a property of land mammals. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones. As limb bones are present in land mammals, hence they cetaceans and land mammals might have common ancestors in the past.

How can organism's be so unique if the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same between organism's?​
Masja [62]

Every organism is unique, even though the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same, because the structure is different in every organism. In other words, it's just the order in which nucleotides are placed that differs each organism from one another.
