Question

Transformation in bacteria involves Select one a. the creation of a strand of DNA from an RNA molecule. b. the creation of a strand of RNA from a DNA molecule c. the infection of cells by a bactenophage DNA molecule. d. the type of semiconservative replication shown by DNA e assimilation of external DNA into a cell O Tobacco mosaic virus is an RNA virus, so does not have DNA as its genetic matenal. Suppose RNA trom a tobacco mosaic virus is mixed with proteins trom a related DNA virus, resulting in a hybrid virus. It that virus were to infect a cell and reproduce, what would the resulting ofrspring viruses be like? Select one: 0 O O O a. tobacco mosaic virus b, the related DNA virus c, a hybrid: tobacco mosaic virus RNA and protein from the DNA virus d. a hybrid: tobacco mosaic virus protein and nucleic acid from the DNA virus e, a virus with a double heix made up of one strand of DNA complementary to a strand of RNA surrounded by viral protein

Explanation / Answer

Transformation involoves assimilation of external DNA into a cell

Tobacco mosaic virus has RNA rather than DNA as its genetic material. In a hypothetical situation where RNA from a tobacco mosaic virus is mixed with proteins from a related DNA virus, the result could be a hybrid virus. If that virus were to infect a cell and reproduce, the resulting "offspring" viruses be like Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
