Describe the three ways that bacteria can gain genetic diversity?
There are three main forms of horizontal transmission used to spread genes between members of the same or different species: conjugation (bacteria-to-bacteria transfer), transduction (viral-mediated transfer), and transformation (free DNA transfer).
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its DNA another bacterium?
Transduction
In a bacteriophage transfers bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another?
It is called Transduction.
What is transduction?
The transfer of viral and/or bacterial DNA to each other. bacteria transfers DNA with a bacteriophage
Generalized transduction differs from specialized transduction in that generalized transduction?
GENERALIZED TRANSDUCTION- Is the type of transduction in which a fragment of DNA from the degraded chromosome of an infected bacteria cell is accidentally incorporated into a new phage particle during viral replication and thereby transfered to another bacterial cell. specialized- is the type in which the bacterial DNA transduced is limited to one or a few genes lying adjacent to a pro-phage that are accidentally included when the phage is excised from the bacterial chromosome.
How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?
The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA.
What has the author Bruce C Casto written?
Bruce C Casto has written: 'Potency ranking of chemicals based on enhancement of viral transformation' -- subject- s -: Carcinogens, Cell transformation, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Carcinogens
What are the similarities and differences between Vaccines and Anti-Viral Drugs?
Influenza vaccines are designed to induce a protective immune response in the body against the viruses represented in the vaccine. andAntivirals are kind of drugs that treat people who have already been infected by virus.visit for more info at gapsos.com
What is the difference between viral and bacterial encephalitis?
The only difference between viral and bacterial encephalitis is what causes it. They are exactly the same condition except one is started via a virus and one is started by a bacteria.
What is the difference between viral and a bacteria infection?
As simple as that a viral infection is caused by a virus and a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria.
Different types of fusion technique used in hybridoma technique?
The different types of fusion technique used in Hybridoma formatio are: 1. fusion mediated by PEG. 2. fusion mediated by DMSO. 3. Electrofusion 4. Viral Transformation (viral mediated fusion) using EB Virus, Sandai Virus.
Why are some viral diseases shared between species and others not?
Because there are some viral diseases that require different needs to survive. Which they cannot find in certain species.
