I think you must rethink about your question, but still I am giving the answer as I can understand that you are asking about recombinant DNA technology where bacterial DNA is used as it is a cloning vector (plasmid). In recombinant DNA technology the particular sequence of DNA that we want to replicate or want to produce in huge number, is attached either with plasmid of bacteria or a DNA of bacteriophage and thus produce the recombinant or hybrid DNA which is copied each time when the bacteria or bacteriophage multiply. In this way the hybrid DNA will be transferred from parent cell to daughter cells.

How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?

Specialized transduction involves the transfer of a specific set of bacterial genes by a temperate bacteriophage during its lysogenic cycle. If the bacteriophage integrates into the bacterial chromosome near antibiotic resistance genes, they can be co-transferred to other bacteria upon phage infection. This process can facilitate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes within a bacterial population.


In bacteria genes may be transferred through a pilus which acts like a bridge in a process called?

In bacteria, genes may be transferred through a pilus in a process called conjugation. Conjugation allows for the transfer of genetic material, such as plasmids, between bacterial cells. This transfer of genes can contribute to genetic diversity and the acquisition of new traits in bacterial populations.


What is the role of tra and mob genes in conjugation?

The tra genes encode proteins necessary for the transfer of plasmids through conjugation, including sex pilus formation and DNA transfer. The mob genes encode proteins that are involved in the mobilization of plasmids for transfer. Both tra and mob genes play important roles in facilitating the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells.


The transfer of genes during bacterial conjugation involves rigid tubular appendages called what?

They are called sex pili.


What is specialized transduction?

Specialized transduction is a type of bacterial gene transfer where specific genes are transferred from one bacterial cell to another via a temperate bacteriophage. Unlike generalized transduction, which can transfer any bacterial gene, specialized transduction only transfers specific genes located near the prophage integration site in the bacterial chromosome.


What must a bacterial cell have in order to transfer portions of its chromosome to another cell?

A bacterial cell must have a conjugative plasmid, which contains genes for the transfer of DNA, in order to transfer portions of its chromosome to another cell. Conjugative plasmids encode transfer functions that enable the formation of a conjugation bridge between donor and recipient cells, allowing the exchange of genetic material.


What occurs during conjugation?

Conjugation is the exchange of genetic material between two bacterial cells through a bridge-like connection called a pilus. This allows for the transfer of plasmids containing beneficial genes such as antibiotic resistance. Conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer that contributes to bacterial diversity and evolution.


Who transfer the biological informantion genes or gamets?

The genes transfer the biological information. If you mean passing genes on to the next generation, it would be the genes in the gametes.


Describe the essential features of the use of bacterial plasmid?

Bacterial plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They can carry genes that provide advantages to bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize specific compounds. Plasmids can be manipulated in the lab and used as vectors to introduce genes into bacteria for research or industrial purposes.


What is a promiscuous plasmids?

A promiscuous plasmid is a type of DNA molecule that can be transferred between different bacterial cells through processes such as conjugation, transformation, or transduction. These plasmids often carry genes that promote their own transfer and can spread rapidly among bacterial populations.


A typical bacterial chromosome has 4.6 million nucleotides this supports how many genes?

The number of genes in a bacterial chromosome can vary depending on the size of the genes and the presence of non-coding regions. On average, a bacterial chromosome of 4.6 million nucleotides may contain around 4,000 to 5,000 genes.
