8. Which of the following sentences defines adequately horizontal gene transfer?
a) Exchange of genetic information across species
b) Movement of genetic information via binary fission
c) Exchange of genetic information via sexual reproduction
d) Transmission of genetic information from ancestors to descendants
e) Exchange of genetic information via asexual reproduction
Solution
1. The correct answer is Option A. Horizontal gene transfer is defined as the movement of
genetic material between bacteria other than by descent in which information travels through the
generations as the cell divides. The bacterial species cannot divide sexually so there are other
methods like transformation, conjugation and transduction which are employed for horizontal
gene transfer.
