Many bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission and offspring inherit identical copies of parent genes. Why do bacteria also utilize transduction for replication within the cell?
creation of bacteriophages |
||
transfer of genetic material into host |
||
increased rate of evolution |
||
environmental changes outside of cell |
ANSWER :
The transduction is a process in that bacteria used to transfer the genetic material (DNA) into another host bacterial cell via bacteriophage virus, where they reproduce new copies of DNA by replication via using the host cell mechanism. Hence option (2) is the correct answer.

7. Your genes partly determine your physical characteristics, but the environment you live in also plays a role. a. True--Some genes can be altered by environmental features. b. False--Your genes completely determine your physical characteristics. c. Scientists aren't sure what determines an individual's characteristics d. False-The environment plays no role e. True-In fact the environment always alters genetic characteristics. 8. Choose the correct sequence starting with the smallest unit: a. DNA, gene, allele, chromosome, nucleotide b.

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?
