An Example of Vertical Gene Transfer is The

Question

An example of vertical gene transfer is the
A) development of many genetically diverse mesorhizobia via incorporation of a 500 kB segment from a mesorhizobium.
B) uptake of beta-lactamase genes by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
C) transfer of CRISPR spacers to daughter cells during cell division.
D) transfer of a Ti plasmid from agrobacterium to a plant.
E) transfer of conjugative plasmids from one strain to another.

Accepted Answer

Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from parent to offspring, as in the case of CRISPR spacers being transferred to daughter cells during cell division.
