gene transfer in eukaryotes
Gene transfer in eukaryotes may come in the form of mitosis or meiosis. However, horizontal gene transfer, to my knowledge, does not occur in euks.
Horizontal gene transfer is when a cell's DNA is transferred to an individual without reproduction. Bacteria have the ability to accept plasmids from other bacteria, and then incorporate the DNA in to their own genome.

A type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes in which a cell receives DNA from another cell through sex pili is?
Conjugation
What is the primary source of genetic variability in prokaryotes?
Both of the following are correct: They have extremely short generation times and large populations; They can exchange DNA with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer.
What gene indicates that yeasts and humans share a common ancestor?
Humans have a gene that codes for myosin,a protein found in our muscles.Researchers have found a gene in yeast that codes for a myosin protein
Which process occurred frequently in the early history of the three domains on Earth and makes determining phylogenetic relationships of that time difficult?
Horizontal gene transfer permits gene flow from one organism's genome to another organism's genome, It occurs commonly between prokaryotes of different species, and even between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Much of what we know about single gene traits in humans is the result of studying?
Much of what we know about single gene traits in humans comes from studying pea plants.
What is the difference between horizontal gene transfer and vertical gene transfer?
Horizontal gene transfer involves the transfer of genetic material between different organisms, such as bacteria exchanging genes through processes like transformation, transduction, or conjugation. Vertical gene transfer refers to the transmission of genes from parents to offspring, typically through sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms.
What term is used for the transfer of a gene from one organism to another?
Horizontal Gene Transfer is probably the term you are looking for
How can you became Spider-Man?
Get bitten by a radioactive spider. There is a possibility of horizontal gene transfer.
What is a xenologue?
A xenologue (also xenolog) is a gene sequence in which similar sequences can be found in different species, due to horizontal gene transfer.
What are some key differences between horizintal gene transfer gene transfer and vertical descent with mutation?
horizontal gene transfer refers to a transfer of DNA to another cell that is not its offspring. Vertical occurs when 2 organisms have sex with their penis and produce offspring, it receives genetic material from ancestors (parents)
A type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes in which a cell receives DNA from another cell through sex pili is?
Conjugation
When scientist transfer genes from one organism to the other it is called?
Horizontal and vertical gene transfers are the terms to account for the transfer of genes between organisms. Horizontal (HGT) or (LGT) transfer happens when non-traditional reproduction effectuates the transfer whereas vertical transfer (VGT) occurs when asexual or sexual reproduction effectuates the genetic movement from parents to offspring.
What is gene transfer through embryo injection?
the transfer of gene to the embryo in order to produce transgenic offspring is known as gene transfer through embryo.
What is agrobacterium mediated gene transfer?
transfer of gene with the help of Ti plasmid present in Agrobacterium which has T-dna region by which gene van transfer.
When a gene transfer to a person then what happen to other person?
when a gene transfer to a person then other person is scared of the gene
Why should you care about a resistant strain of tb in russia?
Aside from the fact of its spreading here, bacteria conjugate in horizontal gene transfer from one type of TB bacillus to another.
Why does a gene fit into the opening in the plasmid?
When genes transfer the tra gene nicks the DNA at its origin of transfer creating a pilus so the chromosome (which contains the gene) can transfer to the other DNA.
