Particles that transfer genetic material from one species to another, especially in marine prokaryotes: a. horizontal gene transfer b. lateral gene transfer c. genome fusion device d. gene transfer agents
The introductory passage describes how Vibrio cholerae bacteria can take up genes from their prey through horizontal gene transfer. Based on the introductory passage and the material in the chapter, classify the following examples of gene transfer as horizontal gene transfer, vertical gene transfer, or neither. Options: a. DNA from mature organism to mature organism b. transformation c. a gene that is different in two related species as a result of a mutated ancestral gene d. DNA from virus to mature organism e. conjugation f. transduction g. transposition (by transposable elements) h. a gene shared by several species inherited from a common ancestor i. DNA from parent to offspring
