Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process of transformation of nonvirulent bacteria to harmful bacteria after exposure to components of harmful bacterial cells.
Introduction:
The transfer of genetic material between cells is divided into two major categories: horizontal and vertical mode of transfer. In the case of vertical type of gene transfer, the gene is passed from the parental organism to its own offspring. Gene is transferred between individuals of unrelated generations in horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene transfer in bacteria includes conjugation, transduction, and transformation.
