Question

The part of the bacterial chromosome sharing homology with genome fragment transferred from the recipients to cell during merozygote formation is known as

• A. Eugenic
• B. Exogenate
• C. Endogenate
• D. Dysgenic

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Endogenate

• When there is an exchange of the genetic material is carried out as a part of recombination in the bacterial cells, there is the formation of a merozygote.
• The merozygote is the form or stage in which the recipient cell contains two copies of the same part of the bacterial chromosome.
• This part of the bacterial chromosome which is similar or homologous to the received copy is called endogenous.
• The remaining part of the bacterial chromosome which is not similar is called Exogenate.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
