Which natural horizontal gene transfer process moves the MOST DNA and has affected evolution?

A. Conjugation and “slut” bacteria

B. Transformation

C. Transduction by phage

D. Electroporation

E. Transposition

F. Conjugation mostly in Gram negative eubacteria

Answer 1

First question

The answer is option F. Creating a new replicating organism using the “shell” of another and inserting specific genes. Because it uses same technology of the recombinant DNA. But the difference is that here by this new living forms are created.

Second question.

A. Conjugation and “slut” bacteria

Conjugation is the direct transfer of the genes from one cell to another. The term "slut" bacteria is similar like these that the bacteria pass the genes between themselves by coming in sexual contact by the formation of tubules.

Transformation tells about the transformation occurs to the gene.Transduction is the accidental entry of the genes to a cell. So these are not the options.
