Bacteria that have properties of both the donor and recipient cells are the result of
A)UV light.
B)SOS repair.
C)frame shift mutations.
D)genetic recombination.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic recombination refers to the process by which donor and recipient cells exchange genetic material, resulting in the formation of bacteria that have properties of both cells. This process is commonly observed in bacteria during conjugation, transduction, and transformation. UV light, SOS repair, and frame shift mutations do not directly relate to the process of genetic recombination.
