Which of the following statements is true about specialized transduction? Any bacterial gene may be transferred to another bacterium via bacteriophage A restricted set of bacterial genes is transferred to another bacterium There is physical exchange of DNA between two homologous sources Electroporation must be used to force cells to uptake DNA
Rabeya Z.
Specialized transduction can be distinguished from generalized transduction by the fact that transducing particles are involved in the former but usually not the latter lysogeny is involved in the former but usually not the latter homologous recombination is involved in the former but usually not the latter a selective medium is required to demonstrate the former but usually not the latter
