Except in rare cases,genes are usually passed from generation to generation within a species.This process is called:
A)horizontal gene transfer
B)vertical gene transfer
C)transgenesis
D)synteny

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vertical gene transfer refers to the transfer of genes from one generation to the next within a species through reproduction. Horizontal gene transfer, on the other hand, refers to the transfer of genes between different species or organisms through methods such as viral infection, bacterial conjugation or transduction. Transgenesis refers to the introduction of a gene from one organism into another organism. Synteny refers to the conservation of gene order and arrangement between different species. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is B.
