- A transducing particle injects all of the DNA that it contains into a bacterial cell. Which of the following are TRUE? A. The bacterium becomes Hfr B. The bacterium becomes F+ C. The bacterium immediately acquires new functions as the injected DNA is rapidly transcribed and translated into mRNA and proteins D. This injected DNA can integrate into the bacterium’s genome through a process called recombinationarrow_forwardRabies is a viral zoonosis that is transmitted directly from the bite of an infected animal.

- How is Archae more closely related to Eukarya than to bacteria even though Arche and bacteria are both prokaryotes a.Due to transcription b. replication c. translation d. all of the abovearrow_forwardUse the information to answer the following question. Two students were debating whether viruses are living or nonliving. Student A: Viruses are living because they contain DNA or RNA and reproduce. Student B: Viruses are nonliving because they do not grow and do not use energy. Which student's claim is correct and why? O A. Student B, because viruses do not use or make energy. Even though they contain DNA and RNA, many other non-living things also contain DNA and RNA. O B. Student B, because viruses do not grow and do not use energy. Although they have DNA and RNA, they are only able to reproduce with a host cell. O C. Student A, because viruses are able to reproduce and continue to spread their disease to other hosts. As the virus becomes more dangerous, it grows and becomes larger. O D. Student A, because all living things must have DNA or RNA. They must use energy in order to reproduce and make more viruses.arrow_forwardCovid-19 is an example of: A. An infectious disease O B.
