Explanation:

Answer 2

Bacteria pass down genetic material to new bacterial cells, but rocks do not.

Option (D)

Explanation:

• The bacteria are single-celled organisms and living organisms. They have DNA or genetic material in their bodies and can undergo binary fission to form more than bacteria from one bacteria.
• This way they can pass their genetic material from one to other bacteria or new bacteria. In this procedure, the DNA of the bacteria divides or replicates to form other bacteria.
• As the rocks are not living organisms so they do not have these types of features in it.
