Answer:

Transduction

Explanation:

Among the three types of gene transfer in bacteria, transduction does not require physical contact between the two bacteria cell. Viruses that infect bacteria accidentally move pieces of chromosomal DNA from one bacterium to another. These viruses that infects bacteria are called bacteriophages.

Simply put, transduction is a process of genetic recombination in bacteria which involves the incorporation of the genes of a host cell (bacterium) into the genome of a viral cell (bacteriophage) and then conveyed to another host cell when the bacteriophage infects it. The process of transduction is of two types; generalized and specific depending on whether any gene or specific gene is transduced respectively.

The aim of these viruses when they infect bacteria cell is to harness the ability of bacteria to replicate, transcribe and translate their genetic material and use it to procreate into many virons or complete their viral particle.

rodikova [14]

The correct answer is the biblical principle after its kind.  

Fixity of species refers to a term, which signifies that all the species remained unaltered all through the history of the Earth. This theory is usually not accepted by the most in the contemporary times as of the supposed huge amount of proof encouraging evolution.  

It is a religious claim that all the species are created by a superpower or God and they do not vary with time. According to the hypothesis, it shows that evolution via natural selection is a hoax.

The  complete question is

Compared to the amount of genetic information contained in a normal human body cell, the amount contained in a normal human sperm cell is

A. the same

B.twice as much

c. one-half as much

D. one-fourth as much

One-half as much. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

The amount of genetic information contained in a normal human sperm cell (23 chromosomes) is one-half as much as the information contained in a normal human body cell (46 chromosomes).

Sperm cells are produced during meiosis, a specialized division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half, generating haploid daughter cells.

Thus, option "C" is correct.
