D. The macronucleus does not disintegrate during conjugation.
The macronucleus contains the working copies of genes needed to support an enormous cell. It is formed by a division of the fused diploid nucleus after conjugation followed by multiple rounds of internal gene replication which does not occurs in the micronucleus.
Answer: D. The genes for antibiotic resistance help the transformed bacteria survive in their environment.
Explanation:
First and foremost, we should note that plasmids used in the delivery of DNA typically consists of genes which helps in antibiotic resistance.
Based on the question given, we should note that the genes for antibiotic resistance help the transformed bacteria survive in their environment. This is because cells that have been treated with plasmid are able to survive and grow compared to those that have not been treated with plasmid which are eventually killed by the antibiotic.
