Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pathogenicity islands are genetic elements that are acquired by bacteria through horizontal gene transfer and contain genes involved in virulence and pathogenesis. They are often associated with genes encoding tRNA, which may act as "landing sites" for the foreign DNA to integrate into the bacterial chromosome. This can result in a G+C content that is different from the rest of the genome. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
