Which statement best describes a plasmid?

1

A bacteria undergoes binary fission to create two genetically identical bacteria. Which method of gene transfer is this?

1

In ( horizontal, vertical ) gene transfer, one trait is passed to another bacteria. In ( vertical, horizontal ) gene transfer, the whole genome is passed on.

1

Which classic experiment demonstrates horizontal gene transfer?

1

Which type of horizontal gene transfer involves a pilus used to make cell-to-cell contact?

1

Which statement describes transduction?

1

The uptake of naked short fragments of DNA by naturally transformable bacteria is a form of horizontal gene transfer called transduction.

1

In the lytic cycle, the virus uses the ❌ cellular machinery to assemble more bacteriophages. When the capsid is assembled, the intention is for it to contain it's own ❌ DNA. However, plastids from the ❌ containing ❌ can be incorporated into the bacteriophage too.
If this bacteriophage goes on to infect a different bacteria in a ❌ cycle, the bacterial DNA from the first bacteria will be transferred to the second and ❌ into its DNA.
