A body of rock would most likely exhibit brittle behavior under the condition of LOW TEMPERATURE.
At low temperature, the water in the crevices of the rock will freeze up, the freezing up of this water causes fractures in the rocks and as time goes on the rocks become brittle and parts of it will start falling away.<span />

There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be
introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and
conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria
by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual
through reproduction; while transformation
is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the
bacterial membrane.
