Generalized transduction differs from specialized transduction in that generalized transduction?

GENERALIZED TRANSDUCTION- Is the type of transduction in which a fragment of DNA from the degraded chromosome of an infected bacteria cell is accidentally incorporated into a new phage particle during viral replication and thereby transfered to another bacterial cell. specialized- is the type in which the bacterial DNA transduced is limited to one or a few genes lying adjacent to a pro-phage that are accidentally included when the phage is excised from the bacterial chromosome.


What is the intentional alteration or transfer of genetic material called?

The transfer of genetic information is called conjugation. It involves transfer of genetic information from one bacterial cell to another, and requires physical contact between the two bacteria involved.


What occurs when a segment breaks of chromosome breaks off and reattaches to another chromosome?

translocation


The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?

Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.


What are 2 possible end results of meiosis?

There could be 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes as the original. Another outcome is crossing over in which one allele from one chromosome changes positions with an allele from another chromosome.

We are putting a gene from one species into another what are we actually transferring?

You would be actually transferring a set of codes expressed as codons that will form the gene. You would be cutting one gene from a chromosome and inserting it in to another chromosome. This is called lateral gene transfer. You would use an intermediate such as a plasmid or virus to complete this transfer. Vertical gene transfer is another name for the genes that a parent passes to their offspring.


What is another word for transduction?

Transporation; Transduce is when energy or other to transfer one bacterial cell to another. Its like transportation but with other genetic materials or non human forms. :)


Does mitosis allow genes to move from one chromosome to another?

No. Mitosis produces an exact copy of a cell's DNA. Meiosis allows genetic transfer to occur.


How do you see mutation in a karyotype?

You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.

What sex chromosome is present in all humans?

There are two sex chromosomes: the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. During fertilization, the mother always gives an X chromosome and the father gives either another X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Therefore, all humans have at least one X chromosome.


What is the difference between bank transfer and wire transfer?

A wire transfer is from one bank to another. A bank transfer is a transfer from one account to another at the same bank.
