Question

Bacteria transformation is the process in which:
a. a bacterium uptakes genetic information from the environment
b. a prokaryotic process for cell division
c. bacteria exchange occus by copying a plasmid and passing it from one bacterium to another
d. a bacteriophage accidentally copies genetic information from one bacterium and inserts into the next cell it infects.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a). a bacterium uptakes genetic information from the environment

Explanation:

Bacterial transformation can be defined as a process of gene transfer, in which bacterial cell uptakes naked DNA molecule from its environment through the membrane.

It is a method of horizontal gene transfer that involves transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another without sexual reproduction.

thus, the correct answer is option (a).
