Answer:

Yes, these are correct.

Explanation:

Bacterial conjugation is the bacterial counterpart of sexual reproduction. Also known as horizontal gene transfer, it involves the transfer of genetic material from one F+ or Hfr bacterium to another F+ or F- bacterium.
The F or fertility factor is a crucial component of the bacterial plasmid and it accounts for the development of sex pili which are important for conjugation. An F+ cells contains the F-factor incorporated into its plasmid, whereas an F- cell lacks the F-factor and therefore cannot participate in conjugation.
Conjugation between an F+ and F- cell can result in the transfer of the F-factor to the F- bacterium.
An Hfr bacterium contains F-factor incorporated into its circular genome.

Which statement is true of natural populations?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Population is a collection of individuals of a species living in a defined area

Explanation:

Population:This is a collection of individuals of the same species occupying the same space and able to interbreed freely with one another when individuals of different sexes are brought together.

A species of animals may comprise a single cohesive population or may contain many geographical distinct populations.

Example:A population of Agama lizards in a Campus located in China.The whole human race, Homo sapiens comprising the black, Mongolian,red and white is a population.A population of Cercopithecus erythrogaster (Monkeys).

A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin

Shalnov [3]

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.
