The right answer is C. The offspring are genetically distinct ... by sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction, as opposed to asexual reproduction, indicates that the propagation of a species involves male and female gametes. It is the main method of reproduction of multicellular organisms.
In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During fertilization ("fertilization"), haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote and restore the initial number of chromosomes (2n).
No gram stain cannot be used because influenza virus causes flu and virus has no cell wall which we could stain.
Further explanation
Microbial size
A reasonable standard for estimating organisms is the micrometer which is multiple times littler than a meter (one-millionth of a meter). There are 106 µmeters in one meter, and it is these units that are utilized to quantify the size of microscopic organisms. Normally, microscopic organisms extend from around 1 µm to around 5 µm.
Microbial shape
There are a huge number of microbes, yet every one of them are essentially of three unique shapes. Some are rod like and called bacilli and E. coli is rod shaped. While some are round in shape like cocci e.g Staphylococcus. Third type is spiral like and is called spirilla.
Motility of microbes
The have the ability to swim or crawl frequently and interact with their physical and chemical environments.
Spore staining
It is a technique which is used for differentiation and we dye the cell wall and spores of bacteria.
Simple stain
It is one of very simple methods which involves only a single solution for staining.
Hanging drop slide
It is a technique which used wet mount and organism is dipped in it and then that organism is placed on a slide under microscope for analysis.
Gram stain
In this technique in which an organism is stained. It may be gram positive or gram negative.
