Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A merodiploid cell is a bacterial cell that has undergone a partial duplication of its genome, resulting in two copies of one or a few genes but only one copy of all the others. This can occur naturally through genetic recombination or be artificially induced through methods such as transformation or conjugation. Merodiploid cells are useful for studying gene expression and regulation.
