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).

The bacteria would generally be more similar


What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?

Transduction is the type of genetic recombination in bacteria that involves DNA transfer by viruses. In this process, bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) transfer bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another.

How do bacteria have genetic variation thru Transformation Conjugation and Transduction?

Bacteria can achieve genetic variation through three main processes: transformation, conjugation, and transduction. In transformation, bacteria uptake free DNA from their environment, which can originate from lysed cells. Conjugation involves the direct transfer of DNA between two bacterial cells through a physical connection called a pilus. Transduction occurs when bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) transfer genetic material from one bacterium to another, facilitating the exchange of genes. These mechanisms enhance genetic diversity and adaptability in bacterial populations.


What is the difference between transformation and transduction?

Conjugation is a mechanisms used by bacteria to move genes between cells by exchanging a circular extrachromosomal DNA with each other. Transduction is when viruses that infect bacteria accidentally take some bacterial genes with them into a new cell that htey infect (kinda like STDs). Transformation is when a bacteria gets DNA from its environment.
