<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons carry positive charge, electrons carry negative charge and neutrons does not carry any charge.

Any neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.  An ion is formed when atom looses or gain electron.

  • If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and form an anion.
  • If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and forms a cation.

Thus, an ionized atom will always have unequal number of protons and electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Llana [10]

Answer:

The transfer was essential to understand the mutation and the possibility of new, more resistant strains in microorganisms.

Explanation:

the transfer of microorganisms is based on the transfer of genetic data through conductive pathways that penetrate the membranes, called pili or genetic bridges.

These mutated genes with higher resistance are transmitted and resistance is generated in entire populations and even species.
