Bacterial recombination causes transformation of the recipient cell to _______________

  • A.donor cell
  • B.merozygote
  • C.zygote
  • D.recipient cell

Answer: B

Correct answer: merozygote

A recipient that has taken in a fragment of donor DNA is diploid for that region only and haploid elsewhere, which is what merozygote means - a partial zygote. The state is transient: either the fragment recombines into the chromosome or it is degraded and lost.
