Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:

Biology
1 answer:
Mice21 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

kolbaska11 [484]
The ecosystem of the forest is formed by the interaction between the abiotic and biotic factors. Abiotic factors are the non-living factors: water, temperature,light,cloud cover, and soil. Biotic factors oh the other hand are the living organisms. Tropical rain forests<span> are hot, moist forests found near Earth's equator.</span>
Temperate rain forests are cool and dry.
Abiotic factors in temperate rain forest:
1. Temperature:The climate in the temperate rain forests is mild.
2. Water: moist and lush.
3. Light: many clouds block the sunlight.
4. Soil: nutrition rich.
Biotic factors:<span>beavers, raccoons , cougars and black bears. </span>

Abiotic factors in tropical rain forest:
1. Temperature: hot, near the Earth's equator
2. Water:60 to 160 inches of precipitation

Biotic factors: the greatest biodiversity in the world<span>,

Eva8 [605]

The condition of the AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The virus itself attacking the definite type of immune system cell inside the body. Its cell also known as the helper cells or CD4 helper lymphocyte cells particularly in the adaptive immune system. HIV ruining these cells, it’ll make so hard for the body to combat off and guard off other infectious diseases. When people gets HIV, even slight infection like fever or colds can be much critical because the body itself has difficulty healing. Hence, immune system of one’s person will be lowered because the helper cells are slowly being destroyed and it makes the person unsafe.
