Answer:

IV Drip rate = 20.00 gtts/min (drops per minute).

explanation

if the IV Drip rate = (1500 ml * 16 gtts/ml) / (12 hours * 60) = 33 gtts per minute. Considering that intravenous fluid,be it a certain substance of just glucose, needs to be given at a specific rate, this has been decided to be measured in ml/hour or drops per min.

koban [17]

The mechanism by which genes are transferred from a donor to a recipient microorganism is called TRANSDUCTION. After transduction, the genetic makeup of the recipient cell is different.

Transduction refers to the genetic recombination mechanism by which bacteria can transfer fragments of DNA by using bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages.

During transduction, a bacterial cell interacts by a conjugal bridge through which fragments of DNA are transferred to a suitable (host) recipient cell.

This mechanism (transduction) changes the genome of the host cells by generating genetic recombinants when the bacteriophages initiate a new cycle of infection.
