3. Ans: C. Mycoplasmas
Ratio: Mycoplasmas is a group of bacteria that lack rigid cell walls and take on irregular shapes.
4. Ans: C. Acid-fast staining
Ratio: Acid-fast staining is especially useful in the tuberculosis laboratory (TB lab) where the
mycobacteria are readily seen as red bacilli against a blue or green background in a sputum
specimen from a tuberculosis patient.
5. Ans: C. Lysozyme
Ratio: The cell wall of many gram-positive bacteria can be selectively removed by lysozyme.

1. Ans: C. they obtain their energy and carbon atoms from chemicals
Ratio: Animals, fungi, and protozoa obtain their energy and carbon atoms from chemicals.
2. Ans: D. Transformation
Ratio: Transformation process is not involved in bacteriophages.
3. Ans: A. bacterial genes
Ratio: In transduction, bacterial acquire new genetic information in the form of bacterial genes.
4. Ans: C. Transformation
Ratio: Transformation is a process whereby naked DNA is absorbed into a bacterial cell.
5. Ans: D. Viral gene
Ratio: In lysogenic conversion, bacteria acquire new genetic information in the form of viral
