Further analyses revealed that a region downstream of the seaweed-digesting genes in bacteroides plebeius contained sequences homologous to conserved relaxase/mobilization proteins. these data provide additional evidence that the genes were acquired by:

Conjugation

Explanation:

Conjugation is the method of moving genetic material from one bacterium to another via direct contact.

One bacterium is the source of the genetic material during conjugation, while the other acts as the receiver.

The bacterium of the recipient contains a sequence of DNA called the element of fertility or F-factor.

the scientific method.

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this
