The correct answer is none of the above.
Bacterial cells can transfer genetic material through a process called bacterial conjugation. This process involves the direct physical contact of the bacterial cells and a horizontal gene transfer. The genes which are transferred are most of the times beneficial for the recipient, such as genes for antibiotic resistance.
In this example, bacterial cells cannot have physical contact, since they are separated by a glass filter. Therefore, the bacterial conjugation cannot happen. Given that no gene transfer can be achieved, the AY strain remains bio- trp- and is unable to grow on any medium that lacks bio or/and trp.
The reason that this question is being questioned by the nurse to the patient is because of the reason that the nurse wants to know the quality of pain that the patient is exhibiting in which the nurse would likely ask the patient of how much pain she or he exhibits from the scale 0-10.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "a decreasing number of viable, fertile hybrids is produced over the course of generations." The phenomenon of fusion is likely to occur when, after a period of geographic isolation, two populations meet is that <span>a decreasing number of viable, fertile hybrids is produced over the course of generations.</span>
