<span>the one that is not a source of genetic variation is : D. Asexual reproduction
In asexual reproduction, there is no fertilization process between male and female gender. Which mean the offspring that came from asexual reproduction would be exactly the same as its parent, without any chance of genetic variation</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is they show weak positive gram staining reaction.
Explanation:
<em>Mycobacterium phlei </em>is a rod-shaped species of the genus Mycobacterium. They are acid-fast bacteria with mycolic acids rich cell wall due to which gram stain cannot penetrate easily and show light purple color while staining.
When gram staining is performed on the <em>M.phlei </em>, they take light purple color which indicates that it is a gram-positive bacteria and is related to Actinobacteria phylum of the gram-positive bacteria.
Thus, <em>M. phlei</em> is a gram-positive bacteria.
<span>The correct answer is horizontal gene transfer, transduction.</span>
Transduction (a type of horizontal gene transfer)is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a bacteria cell. When viruses infect bacterial cells, their DNA is integrated into a bacterial chromosome and thus harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the bacteria. As a result, bacteria cell makes numerous virions (viral particles).
