Bacterial transformation is one of the three horizontal gene transfer mechanisms found in bacterial cells. The other two horizontal gene transfer mechanisms are conjugation (Transfer of F Plasmid...

Conjugation is the process of the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another. It requires close contact between the two bacteria. The transfer of plasmid DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)...
Mechanism of Conjugation in Bacteria: The transfer of F Plasmid
Conjugation in bacteria is one of the three processes of gene transfer (transfer of DNA) from one bacteria to another. The other two being transformation, and transduction. It was the first...
Gene transfer is the mechanism of transferring the genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), from one bacteria to another. It is broadly of two types; vertical and horizontal. Vertical gene...
Transduction is one process of transferring a bacteria's DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to another with the help of a virus (bacteriophage). Genetic transfer of host genes by bacteriophage occurs in two...
Transduction is the process of transferring the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from one bacteria to another with the help of a bacteriophage. There are two types of transduction; generalized and...
