Generalized and Specialized Transduction Choose whether the
Solution
1. Transduction may involve a virulent phage.
2. Any part of the host genome can be transfered.
3. A relatively low percentage of cells exposed under transduction.
1. Transduction must involve a temperate phage
2. Only specific regions of DNA can be transduced.
3. It is not necessary for phages to be defective for transduction
1. Gene transfer occurs through a GTA.
2. Transduced DNA is integrated into the host s a part of prophage
3. It is accomplised by transducing particles.
