Review: Bacteria in Soil II
Explanation
This question asks us what the passage "suggests" but the
correct answer is something that the passage says, as often is the case. As we discussed, the second paragraph
likens a bacterial community to a single haploid cell--not in every way, but in
the way that the time it takes its DNA to reassociate
will reflect the heterogeneity of that DNA. This is the point of lines 15-24.
The correct answer is (D).
