Questions and Answers

What are the ways in which bacteria can acquire foreign DNA?

  • Transformation, transduction, conjugation (correct)
  • Uptake of plasmids, transfer of bacteriophages, mating-like process
  • Mutation of genes, acquisition of foreign resistance genes
  • Uptake of naked DNA, transfer of plasmids, replication independently

    • What is the impact of antibiotic use according to the text?

  • Primarily limited to the patient using them
