7) The figures below depict nine interacting microbes. The center cell (black circle) is the altruist. Individuals that receive benefits from the altruist have white crosses. Dark blue individuals are clonemates. Individuals with small red circles are cooperators. Small green or yellow circles indicate different molecules on the surface of the cell. Which of the figures below is consistent with a greenbeard effect (phenotype matching)? A b) B c) C d) D e) all of the above B C + D
Genetic Recombination
Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.
Microbial Genetics
Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.
