#genetic recombination notes

[er-cryptid]

Genetic Recombination

transformation -- uptake of foreign DNA from the surrounding environment

transduction -- movement of genes from one cell to another -- moved by phages -- incorporated by crossover -- types      -- generalized      -- specialized

generalized transduction -- lytic cycle accidentally places host DNA into a phage -- DNA is brought to another cell

specialized transduction -- virus leaving lysogenic cycle brings host DNA with it into phage

conjugation -- transfer of DNA between two bacterial cells connected by pili
