Last updated on May 20th, 2021Bacterial 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 & Transfer […]
Last updated on June 11th, 2021The F+ strain which contains the plasmid gene as an episome (i.e. F plasmid becomes integrated into the host cell genome at one of the several possible sites of a chromosomal gene) […]
Last updated on May 30th, 2021Conjugation is one of the three mechanisms of DNA exchange between bacteria, the other being transformation, and transduction. Conjugation occurs between two living cells, involves cell to cell contact, and […]
Last updated on June 4th, 2021In a bacterial population, DNA can be transferred from one organism to another by the horizontal transfer mechanism (apart from vertical inheritance). The DNA thus transferred by lateral/horizontal method can […]
Last updated on May 20th, 2021In Transduction, DNA is transferred from one cell to another through the agency of viruses. Genetic transfer of host genes by bacteriophage occurs in two ways-generalized transduction and specialized transduction. Specialized […]
