Assertion : The uptake of DNA during transformation is an acitve, energy requiring process.
Reason: Transformation occurs in only those bacteria, which posses the enzymatic machinery involved in the active uptake and recombination.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Transformation is a process of genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane. It is a complex, energy – requiring developmental process.
