GTAs have many similarities to bacteriophages. but they also have characteristic differences. Compare and contrast GTAs in the flowing activity correctly sorting the descriptive phrases. Drag and drop choices into the bins they describe. Genetic diversity is helped to organisms in allowing them to adopt to charging environments. Gene transfer recombination, and mutation can be important in providing the genetic diversity During particular growth phases, these processes can be especially important.

Solution

Answer-

GTAs only -contain the gene needed to reproduce.(GTA produced from the bacterial genome so it contain.it is a random peice of host genome.bacteriophage infection is not needed for its production)

,Not consider a true virus. (Because it is produced by cells own DNA and protein of GTA coat usually formed by own bacterial gene.

widespread in nature.(Beacause it is found in all R. capsulatus and related bactera like alpha proteobacteria and spirochaetes,D.desulfuricance etc.

Bacteriophage only-rely on genes from bacteria to reproduce.(It uses bacterial replication machinery to produce own protein.)

Shared by both-capable of forming clear area (plaques)by killing bacteria on petri plate.(both are relased by lysis of bacterial cell and which can seen in the form of plaque on petry palte)

capable of lysogeny (lysogeny is characterised by prophage induction, and both carry gene for lysogeny)

Not characteristics of either-capable of turning cell red under natural condition.
