Answer #1

1. The uptake of free DNA from the environment - transformation, while transfer of DNA with cell to cell contact would most likely result in conjugation

Hence option A is correct

2. A deleterious mutation in recA results in:

a decrease in homologous recombination

Hence option B is correct

    Please classify each statement as describing transformation, conjugation, or transduction in bacteria. Bacteria can acquire plasmids from outside the cell. A bacterium that contains an F plasmid connects to a recipient bacterium that lacks an F plasmid with an appendage called a pilus, through which the plasmid is transferred. Some bacterial DNA fragments may be included when new phage particles are assembled. A cell can be treated to make it competent to take up DNA from its environment. When a...

Replaced host DNA- Bacteria multiply with new genetic material. Bacterial cell forms endospore and goes dormant. Bacterial DNA is injected into a cell.
