In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another organism within the same generation, is an important way to promote genetic diversity. HGT allows even distantly related species to share genes, influencing their phenotypes.

Transformation: Mode of genetic transfer in which “bare DNA” is taken up from the environment is taken up by cells

Transduction: Mode of genetic transfer in which genes are transferred by a bacteriophage to a bacterial cell

Conjugation: Mode of genetic transfer in which two cells must come in contact and genetic material is transferred to a recipient cell from a donor cell through its pili

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.

Which is a product of the light reaction?
elena-s [515]

Answer: NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

The mechanism of photosynthesis can be divided into two phases, light reaction, and carbon fixation. During the light reaction, photosynthetic pigments absorb radiant energy and undergo a series of photochemical reactions and convert the trapped energy into chemical energy which is stored in the form of NADPH and ATP. These two compounds constitute the assimilatory power. Light reaction is light dependent and it takes place in the grana of the chloroplast.
