A bacterium that is transformed: Select one:

Biology
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d. has acquired naked DNA from the environment

Explanation:

<em>Bacterial transformation is a process whereby a living bacterium takes up pieces of DNA from the environment and the foreign DNA becomes incorporated into the genome of the bacterium thereby 'transforming' it genetically. </em>

A transformed bacterium does not necessarily die within 48 hours, all other factors being considered.

Transformation does not hinder a bacterium from forming conjugation pilus.

Transformation does not always make a bacterium to be lethal to mouse. It depends on the gene present in the foreign DNA.

The correct option is d.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. a nucleus.

Explanation:

The first genetic material present in the early organisms were RNA which was present in the microscopic organisms back then 3.5 billion years ago which means it is normal to have RNA in such microfossils chemical analysis.

Since, the nucleus was not present in early life forms of prokaryotes like bacteria. so, it is unusual to find nucleus in the fossils of stromatolite rocks.

Thus, option III is the correct answer.
