Question:
How does transduction work?
Author: Mirte SchattorieAnswer:
The transfer of genes is conducted by viruses; bacteriophages. 1. the bacteriophage attaches and infects the bacteria with its own genome. 2. the viral DNA is then integrated in the bacterial genome. 3. when the viral DNA is removed again, it might take some bacterial DNA with it. 4. the virus can infect other bacteria, with that piece of bacterial DNA.
