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.

Which of the following characterizes the lag phase of the bacterial growth curve?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Little increase in cell number

Explanation:

There are four distinct phases in the bacterial growth curves that is lag, log, stationary and death phase. The lag phase of the bacterial growth curve is characterized by very little increase in the cell number.

The growth rate of bacteria in the lag phase is slow because the medium is new to the bacterial culture and it requires time for bacteria have to adapt to the new cultural environment and to synthesize enzymes required for substrate utilization.  

After getting adapt in their new environment bacteria starts to grow at an exponential rate. So little increase in cell number characterizes the lag phase.
