Question

Which of the following method is not for the introduction of genetic variation in bacteria?

Answer 1

Genetic variation in bacteria

Explanation:-

• The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical to each other and the parent cell. Thus, over time, asexual reproduction in bacteria can lead to populations of hundreds of thousands of cells, all genetically identical to a single parent cell.
• Prokaryotic cells have evolved several methods for recombination of their genetic material, which, in turn, contribute to their genetic diversity. The three most common ways bacteria diversify their DNA are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.
• However, not all types of bacterial cells are capable of being involved in all three processes.
