The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A)nothing, the genetic variation will stay the same
B)the genetic variation will decrease
C)the genetic variation will increase
D)this type of gene transfer is impossible in eukaryotes

I believe the correct answer is option C. If two eukaryotes participate in lateral gene transfer, then the genetic variation will increase. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Correct answer (1 pt) the number of genes that control the trait.

Unselected answer (0 pts) which form of the trait is dominant.

Unselected answer (0 pts) the allele frequencies of the various alleles.

Unselected answer (0 pts) the relationship of allele frequencies to Mendelian ratios.

5. A polygenic trait can have (1 point)

Unselected answer (0 pts) many possible genotypes, but few possible phenotypes.

Correct answer (1 pt) many possible genotypes, producing many possible phenotypes.

Unselected answer (0 pts) fewer phenotypes than most single-gene traits.
