The definition of transformation in bacteria is described by the first statement: transformation is the assimilation of external dna into the bacterial cell. In a more elaborate sense, transformation is described by the altering of the cell as a result of the uptake or intentional incorporation of dna from an external source. It is one of the three processes for horizontal gene transfer. The other two are transduction (infection of a phage), and conjugation (transfer of dna between two bacterial cells that are directly in contact).
Answer:
C. I and III
Explanation:
A mutation needs to occur in a gamete cell in order to be passed down to the next generation.
If it occurs in a somatic (body) cell, the mutation will only be present in that organism.
On the other hand, in a gamete cell, the mutation will pass down because gamete cells are directly involved in the genetic makeup of the offspring.
So, since sperm and egg cells are gametes, mutations in those cells would get passed on.
The correct answer is C. I and III
The answer is speed and not velocity because no direction is given.
