In lateral gene transfer, genes are ______.
a. transmitted from one generation to another
b. moved from their original location to another nearby location in the genome
c. moved from one species to another
d. moved from one site to another after the genome is fragmented by restriction enzymes

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. moved from one species to another

Explanation:

During lateral gene transfer, one or more genes from one mature, independent organism are transferred to another. Here, the donor and recipient organisms may belong to different species. Lateral gene transfer in prokaryotes occurs by mechanisms such as transformation, conjugation, and transduction. For example, the genes for antibiotic resistance have been spread in the species of bacteria by lateral gene transfer.
