Are involved in the transfer of genetic information from one bacterial cell to another.
A. Flagella
B. Pili
C. Cilia
D. Ribosomes

Asked by chl19567

Answer (2)

The transfer of genetic information between bacterial cells occurs through structures called Pili during a process known as conjugation. Flagella are for movement, while cilia and ribosomes serve distinct roles unrelated to genetic transfer. Pili connect donor and recipient cells to facilitate this process. ;

The correct answer to the question is B. Pili , which are involved in the transfer of genetic information between bacterial cells through a process called conjugation. Pili facilitate the connection between donor and recipient bacteria, allowing genetic material transfer, typically in the form of plasmids. Other options, such as Flagella, Cilia, and Ribosomes, serve different functions unrelated to genetic transfer.
