Choose the one answer that fits best. Which of the following statements regarding bacteria is NOT correct?
a.
During conjugation, two bacteria exchange genetic information directly via pili
b.
Bacterial populations have a higher mutation rate because their DNA Polymerases do not have proofreading capability
c.
Bacterial growth by binary fission is exponential and each division usually takes only a couple of hour or less
d.
Plasmids carry just a few genes and are replicated independently from the bacterial chromosome

In the table, you have to identify the character for Genus Identification of the Cyanobacterium E (see image). Thank you.
You did not answer what was asked in the table above, you only defined or gave the meaning of the morpho-cytological characteristics which was not asked.
You are viewing a new organism at 1000x. You calculated that 1 O.U. =1.3um. It is 8O.U. long
How many um is your organism?

- The following questions refer to the information and figure below. Experimental populations (average) 1.8 - 1.6 1.4 1.2 - Ancestral population 1.0 5000 10 000 15 000 20 000 Generation In this eight-year experiment, 12 populations of E. coli, each begun from a single cell, were grown in low-glucose conditions for 20 000 generations. Each culture was introduced to a fresh growth medium every 24 hours. Occasionally, samples were removed from the populations, and their fitness in low-glucose conditions was tested against that of members sampled from the ancestral (common ancestor) E. coli population. Which of the following is less likely to promote bacterial survival over evolutionary time in a low- glucose environment? Increased sensitivity to, and ability to move toward, whatever glucose is present in its habitat Increased ability to synthesize glucose from amino acid precursors Increased efficiency at transporting glucose into the cell from the environment Increased ability to survive…arrow_forwardThe transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another through a sex pilus is termed ___________?
