This process occurs accidentally when the bacteriophage packages bacterial DNA instead of its own viral DNA into its capsid during the assembly of new phage particles. A) Prophage are involved in the process: This statement is false. Prophages are involved in Show more…

Which of the following is CORRECT about transduction? a. Transduction requires the bacteria to form a sex pilus. b. In transduction a bacteriophage transfers bacterial DNA from one cell to another. c. Transduction requires a competent recipient cell. d. In transduction bacteria pick up free-floating DNA fragments from their environment. e. In transduction the donor cell has to be the same species as the recipient cell. f. During transduction a transposon "jumps" from the cell's chromosome onto its plasmid.

Which of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices General transduction is a packaging error during the lytic cycle. Specialized transduction is an excision repair mistake during the lysogenic cycle. The lysogenic cycle does not ever result in lysis of the cell. During the lysogenic cycle the phage DNA can insert into the host chromosome becoming a prophage.

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
