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.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
