DNA is found in the nucleus
Answer:
True
Explanation:
DNA ligases are enzymes required for replication, repair, and recombination of DNA molecules. The DNA ligase repairs the break in the DNA molecule by the formation of a phosphodiester bond.
The bacterial genome consists of a circular DNA molecule, thereby laboratories use these enzymes to create recombinant DNA molecules
Answer:
The correct answer is (b)-False
Explanation:
Bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis to reproduce and increase its genetic recombination. To increase their genetic recombination bacteria take the help of horizontal gene transfer through which it gets the genetic material of another bacteria. This new gene helps bacteria to survive in the challenging environment.
Bacteria divide through binary fission in which one cell of bacteria divides into two equal daughter cell each having its genetic material because genetic material of parent cell segregate equally into both the cell.
Therefore bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis.
Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce within the cells of a host organism.
The differences between viruses and bacteria include;
- Viruses do not have any cell and are considered between living and non-living things, while bacteria have one cell (Unicellular) and are living organisms.
- Viruses are smaller in size (20-400 nm) when compared with bacteria (1000 nm).
- Viruses do not have a cell wall but a protein coat is present, while bacteria have a cell wall that is composed of peptidoglycan.
- Viruses require a living cell to reproduce, while bacteria can reproduce by itself.
- The DNA or RNA of viruses is enclosed inside a coat of protein, while that of bacteria floats freely in the cytoplasm within the cell.
