Answer:
Option A. specialized transduction and Option D. acquisition of an F' factor.
Explanation:
A partial diploid strain occurs in a bacteria due to specialized transduction and the acquisition of an F' factor.
This allows the bacteria to have or possess duplicates (2 copies) of some of its genetic elements (Chromosomes). One of those copies can be found on the chromosome of the bacteria while the second copy can be found in the plasmid of the bacteria.
Bacteria that have been found to possess the partial diploid strain are known as Merodiploids.
Answer:
A. specialized transduction.
D. acquisition of an F' factor.
Explanation:
Specialized transduction is a genetic mechanism in which a set of genes are transferred among bacteria . Moreover, the F factor is a plasmid that stimulates bacteria for transferring genetic material by conjugation with other bacteria
