Among the bacteria and archaea, which process produces results that are most similar to the results of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes and why?

a.) binary fission, because it is used to produce identical daughter cells.
b.) conjugation, because one cell trades genetic material directly with another cell.
c.) transduction, because genes are added to the cell through an intermediary.
d.) transformation, because the cell picks up genes from its environment.

The correct answer is option B

The process that is similar to sexual reproduction is the conjugation. One cells transfers the genetic material directly to another cell.

Conjugation can be defined as the process in which bacterium transfers the genetic material to another cell being in contact.

During this process one bacterium acts as the donor and one bacterium acts as the recipient.

The bacterium(donor) carries fertility factor that allows to produce pilus which is used to contact with the recipient.

By the help of pilus genetic material is transferred into another bacterium.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c

explanation:

the oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. this blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. from the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.

deoxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. from the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve), into the right ventricle.
