Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quorum sensing is an important mechanism of cell-to-cell communication in bacterial populations. It allows bacteria to monitor their population density and coordinate their behavior. Quorum sensing has been shown to regulate genes related to virulence, biofilm formation, and plasmid transfer, among other biological processes. Therefore, all the given choices are correct.
