What are the similarities between transformation and viral transduction?
Both transformation and viral transduction are methods used to introduce foreign DNA into a host cell. They can both result in genetic changes in the host cell. However, transformation involves uptake of naked DNA by the cell, while viral transduction involves the transfer of DNA by a virus.
Can RNA virus facilitate the transduction?
Yes it can.For example: Hepatitis virus which is single stranded RNA and when it attacks the host cell, in the body of the host cell, it becomes doule stranded RNA and from that RNA, it forms DNA.
What is unique about transduction compared to normal bateriophage infection?
Transduction involves the transfer of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another using a bacteriophage as a vector, whereas normal bacteriophage infection results in the lysis of the host bacterium after replication. Transduction is a form of horizontal gene transfer that can transfer genetic material such as antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria, while normal bacteriophage infection primarily involves viral replication and host cell lysis.
What is a basic technique for gene transfer?
Firstly, the plasmid is removed from the bacteria where it is cut open by restriction enzymes. The desired DNA is then extracted from the donor, which is then cut open with the same restriction enzyme. This results in sticky ends and the two pieces of DNA from the two organisms can hence be mixed with complementary base sequences. Ligase is then used to splice the pieces of DNA to form recombinant plasmids, which is then inserted into host cells.
What is restricted transduction?
Restricted transduction is the phenomenon in which a bacteriophage can only transfer genetic material to certain host cells due to specific receptor recognition. This limits the range of host cells that can be infected by the phage, providing a mechanism for bacterial resistance to phage infection.

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.
What is abortive transduction?
Abortive transduction occurs when a bacteriophage injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, but the viral DNA fails to replicate and instead integrates into the host bacterial genome. This can result in a mixed bacterial population with some cells acquiring new genetic traits from the phage.
Is HIV binary fission or conjugation?
The HIV is a virus and does not perform the bacterial reproduction of binary fission or conjugation in order to reproduce. The only way a virus reproduces is by infecting a host cell.
Can RNA virus facilitate the transduction?
Yes it can.For example: Hepatitis virus which is single stranded RNA and when it attacks the host cell, in the body of the host cell, it becomes doule stranded RNA and from that RNA, it forms DNA.
The process by which a virus introduces nucleic acid from its former host into a new host is called?
transduction
What happens to a recombinant DNA when a successful cell transformation?
When a successful cell transformation occurs, the recombinant DNA is integrated into the host cell's genome. This allows the host cell to produce the desired protein encoded by the recombinant DNA. The transformed cell can now replicate and pass on the recombinant DNA to its daughter cells during cell division.

How does DNA technology transfer bacterial genes from one cell to another?
Gene transfer between cells generally consists of the following steps: 1. Isolating the gene of interest - Here, the gene which has to be transferred has to be isolated from the genome of the source (or host) organism. 2. Splicing the gene if interest into a plasmid. Splicing is a process wherein a foreign strand of DNA (the gene of interest) is inserted into a loop of DNA called a plasmid. The plasmid DNA is cut open to form a linear fragment. The gene of interest is then attached to the plasmid DNA. The plasmid DNA is converted back into the loop form with the help of an enzyme called DNA ligase. 3. Gene amplification: Here, the plasmid containing the gene of interest is amplified. Which means, many copies of the plasmid containing DNA are created through a process called the polymerase chain reaction. 4. Transfection: This is the final step wherein the plasmid containing DNA is inserted into the recipient organism. Sometimes the foreign DNA remains within the plasmid and is able to express protein. Other times, the gene of interest can be engineered to contain a sequence called the recombination sequence which will allow it to integrate (or join) the host genome through a process called homologous recombination. By the method described above, a foreign gene is removed from one organism and inserted into another. If the gene of interest is integrated into the host of the recipient organism, copies of it are made every time the host cells divide.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
