Question
Chapter 11.1, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which bacterial transformation plays a role in the transfer of genes, such as antibiotic resistance genes, from one bacterial species to another.
Introduction: Bacteria are unicellular organisms that lack a well-defined nuclear membrane. Bacteria are classified into various categories on the basis of their size, shape, habitat, and functions. They are capable of causing severe infections and disorders in humans. The science that deals with a large-scale study of bacteria are termed as bacteriology
