Summary Introduction

To differentiate:

The generalized and specialized transduction.

Introduction:

The process in which the DNA of one bacteria is transferred to the genome of other bacteria by the bacteriophage is referred to as transduction. This process involves the use of a virus as a mediator for transferring genes from the donor to the recipient. It occurs in two phases, namely lytic and lysogenic phase. In the lytic phase, the phage injects its DNA to the host cell. Using the machinery of the host cell, it develops and get packed into a new cell, disrupts the host cell, and releases out. In the lysogenic phase, phage DNA integrates into the bacterial DNA and forms prophage. The phage DNA replicates along with the bacterial DNA. In this phase, the host bacteria are not killed.
