Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The modes of reproduction in prokaryotes.
Introduction: The biological process of formation of offspring from their parents is known as reproduction. It is a fundamental feature of life. The reproduction occurs in two forms, asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The mechanisms that result in gene transfer.
Introduction: The mechanisms involving transfer of genetic material between species of unrelated generations is known as horizontal gene transfer. The process of gene transfer from parent cell to offspring occurs through vertical gene transfer.
