Question

Which of the following could help to identify a recent horizontal gene transfer event in a bacterial genome?

A region of a bacterial genome that had a GC content bias that was significantly different than the rest of the genome.

A genome with a significantly high codon bias.

A lack of introns in protein coding genes that are expressed at high levels.

An increase incidence of crossing over.
