 What is bacterial transduction? How a segment of DNA from one bacterial cell is transferred to another bacterial cell by transduction?

• donor DNA packaged in bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium

• process by which an organism acquires exogenous DNA, Occurs in 2 ways, natural transformation or artificial transformation

• process by which one bacteria transfers genetic material to another through direct contact, one bacterium serves as a donor one is a recipient

What is bacterial conjugation? How does it occur? What is the consequence of 

    bacterial conjugation?

• donor DNA packaged in bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium

• process by which an organism acquires exogenous DNA, Occurs in 2 ways, natural transformation or artificial transformation

• process by which one bacteria transfers genetic material to another through direct contact, one bacterium serves as a donor one is a recipient

 What are the 3 methods of horizontal gene transfer?

• transformation

• conjugation

• transduction

 What is vertical gene transfer?

• constantly reshapes microbial genomes

• movement of genetic info between organisms, including antibiotic resistance

• transfer of genetic info, from parent to offspring

What is horizontal gene transfer?

• constantly reshapes microbial genomes

• movement of genetic info between organisms, including antibiotic resistance

• transfer of genetic info, from parent to offspring

What is the impact of horizontal gene transfer on microbial genomics?

• constantly reshapes microbial genomes

• movement of genetic info between organisms, including antibiotic resistance

• transfer of genetic info, from parent to offspring
