Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The recombinant DNA technology involves isolation of genetic materials (DNA) from donor organisms (human, plant, or microorganism) and inserts them into recipient organisms after genetic manipulation. The main tools involved in the techniques are

To determine whether these viruses could cause cancer, the student infected human cells with each of the viruses and then transfered the infected cells to nude mice to see if the viruses would cause formation of tumors. The student was able to determine by PCR that both viruses are integrated into the genome of the host cells before transplanting cell in mice. The data for this assay are shown in the figure below. Explain how the mechanism of transduction may be different for these two viruses to yield the observed data (limit 4-5 sentences).
