Discuss the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, the widespread nature of this process in prokaryotes, and its importance in the evolution eukaryotic groups

The mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer are transformation, transduction, and conjugation.

Explanation:

This process can allow different species of bacteria to become immune or pathogenic from the DNA of another. The eukaryotes have shown some level of DNA sequencing  from bacteria- acrhaea.

The endosymbiosis of mitochondria and plastids is a form of horizontal gene transfer from bacteria to eukaryotes, for example.

organisms that are both used in toothpaste as well as cause malaria are protista and monera.

false because ozone (o3) depletion does not cause global warming, but both of these environmental problems have a common cause: human activities that release pollutants into the atmosphere altering it.

global warming is caused primarily by putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars.
