In many bacteria, genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are carried on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes that confer resistance to antibiotics are commonly carried on R plasmids, also known as resistance plasmids. These plasmids are capable of replicating independently of the bacterial chromosome and can transfer resistance genes between different bacterial strains. F factors are plasmids involved in bacterial conjugation, introns are non-coding regions of genes in eukaryotic organisms, and exons are the coding regions of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
