Without external forces, the third generation of a bacterium and the original parent sale will have approximately how much matching DNA sequences is it 100% 33% 25% or 12.5%
1 answer
The third generation of a bacterium will have approximately 12.5% matching DNA sequences with the original parent cell, without external forces. This is because each generation of bacteria undergoes a process of genetic recombination, resulting in a gradual loss of genetic similarity with the parent cell over successive generations.
