What carries a resistance gene from one bacterium to another? A plasmid is a small DNA circle that can move between bacteria, a common sideways vehicle. The number to keep beside that choice is 1952. Lederberg coined the word plasmid in 1952, so the resistance chapter and the transfer chapter share that vehicle rather than a mystery powder.
A plasmid is a small DNA circle that can move between bacteria, a common sideways vehicle. The figure 1952 belongs in the answer because Lederberg coined the word plasmid in 1952, so the resistance chapter and the transfer chapter share that vehicle rather than a mystery powder.

A plasmid is a small DNA circle that can move between bacteria, a common sideways vehicle. Hold the figure 1952 beside that sentence, then use the atlas link for the longer chapter. This lookup only settles the search decision named in the heading.
Lederberg coined the word plasmid in 1952, so the resistance chapter and the transfer chapter share that vehicle rather than a mystery powder. That is why 1952 is printed on this card rather than left as a vague “many”. Open the linked section if you need the map, not a personal instruction.
The wrong turn is to treat the opposite claim as the same fact. A plasmid is a small DNA circle that can move between bacteria, a common sideways vehicle. This page explains a classification or public-health fact. It does not diagnose an illness or write a treatment plan.
After the decision, read the two linked atlas pages and stop.
