Explanation / Answer

41. Fimbriae is used by bacteria to get attach with the substrate. Fimbriae does not help in locomotion, absorbing food and gene transfer. Gene transfer is done with the help of sex pili. So answer is C.

42. When a genetic material is obtained through Bacteriophage, the process is called Transduction. Transcription is the process of copying DNA into RNA. Translation is the process of decoding the RNA into amino acid chains. Picking up of naked DNA (genetic) material from the surroundings of the bacterium is a process called Transformation. Answer is C.

43. Cilia are complex cells with cilia, cytoskeleton and two nuclei types. The cilia present on the surfaces are used for locomotion, feeding, swimming etc. Yes they live as solitary cells in fresh water. But the exchange or shuffling of genes happen through the process called conjugation and then undergoes meiosis. So the answer is C.
