A bacterial strain survives exposure to penicillin by producing an enzyme that degrades the drug. This resistance gene is typically located on which structure?
Q1. A bacterial strain survives exposure to penicillin by producing an enzyme that degrades the drug. This resistance gene is typically located on which structure?
Answer: Plasmids
Explanation: Plasmids carry extra-chromosomal genes like antibiotic resistance. Mesosomes are tempting but they are involved in respiration and DNA replication.
