In eukaryotes, sexual reproduction is the main process by which new gene combinations are generated. How do bacteria generate new gene combinations in the absence of sexual reproduction?

If a bacterial chromosome were inserted into a eukaryotic cell, would it be stable? Would it segregate like eukaryotic chromosomes do during mitosis and meiosis? Why or why not?

For the following sets of partial diploid bacteria, is the Z gene constitutive, inducible, or non-inducible?

The figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora. The adult stage of the Neurospora is a multicellular haploid.  Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below. Suppose I have a Neurospora strain that has a mutation such that it will not grow unless I supplement the media (food) with arginine (but not with citrulline or ornithine). What gene is mutated? Explain your reasoning.
