Answer 1

The bacterium regenerates from an endospore that lacks the plasmid contained in the original parent cell, the regenerating bacterium will probably also a.) lack a cell wall.

What is an endospore?

Endospores are bacterial cells that have undergone differentiation to become more resistant to heat, harmful chemicals, radiation, and other conditions that can kill ordinary bacterial cells.

The function of the endospore in bacterial cells is as a survival structure (dormant structure). This thick-walled structure allows bacteria to survive unfavorable conditions.

For example, when environmental conditions change to be inappropriate and extreme (drought, very low or very high temperatures) or lack of nutrients.
