Answer: C. carrying a gene or genes essential for survival
Explanation:
A plasmid can be defined as the small, extrachromosomal, double stranded DNA that can be found in the bacterial cell and in other prokaryotes. The plasmid DNA remain physically separated from the chromosomal DNA. The plasmid DNA can replicate independently.
The plasmid DNA carries genes which can facilitate the survival of the organism. This gene may provide the selective advantage like antibiotic resistance to the bacteria or any other organism. But the gene may not be essential for the survival of the organism.
Answer:
Intensity: The severity of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale – the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Magnitude: Earthquake size is a quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source

The controversy surrounding the nucleic acids and proteins, regarding which one of them was formed first is the most popular controversy in the biology world today. The nucleic acids stores and the genetic information. The proteins essential for all the life processes are encoded by the genes formed of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). But proteins (enzymes) are required for the formation of proteins from the genes. The inter-dependency of the nucleic acids and proteins on each other possesses a dilemma to the question 'which of them arrived first'.
The answer to this dilemma was answered when it was discovered that RNA was capable of not only carrying the genetic information, but also acting as catalyst to the chemical reaction. This finding supported the notion that the RNA evolved first serving the purpose of both the nucleic acids and emzymes.
Answer:Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)
Explanation:An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous brain tumor that develops on the nerve that runs between the inner ear and the brain. Also called vestibular schwannomas, acoustic neuromas develop in cells known as Schwann cells. The primary symptoms of vestibular schwannoma are unexplained progressive unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus(the perception of sound when no external corresponding sound is present) and vestibular (disequilibrium) symptoms.
