A translocation in which part of one chromosome is exchanged with a part of a separate non-homologous chromosome. ~ s are the result of moving a section of the genetic material (chromosome) of the cell and attaching it to another chromosome.
Plants actually create these compounds to ensure a healthy, diverse population of bacteria lives near their roots to protect the plants. Decomposers are especially important in retaining nutrients in their cells thus preventing loss of those nutrients from the root zone. This is very important in the nitrogen cycle.
Growth Rate and Generation Time As mentioned above, bacterial growth rates during the phase of exponential growth, under standard nutritional conditions (culture medium, temperature, pH, etc.), define the bacterium's generation time. Generation times for bacteria vary from about 12 minutes to 24 hours or more.
