When a bacteriophage accidentally incorporates a fragment of host DNA in its capsid and delivers it to another (living) bacterial cell, the process is called _____.     transformation     transduction     conjugation     speciation

Why is it so hard to get rid of the following organism? They undergo bottlenecking in their populations when taking antibiotics? They gain plasmids that help them build resistance. Using antibiotics are ineffective. They come from mosquitos and they are abundant. Part of their life cycle includes zoonosis with snails.

Some viruses have an additional covering over the capsid made of a modified phospholipid membrane (which was taken from a host cell). This surrounding metmbrane is called a________?????

If Avery, Macleod, and McCarty had observed transformation after removing DNA and RNA, but NOT after removing proteins, they would have concluded that _______. Group of answer choices A polysaccharide is the genetic material in Streptococcus pneumoniae RNA is the genetic material in Streptococcus pneumoniae The genetic material in Streptococcus pneumoniae is a protein Mice with diets rich in proteins are resistant to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection The preparations were contaminated
