Question
Chapter 19, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The alteration in genetic material due to horizontal gene transfer.
Introduction: Horizontal gene transfer can be defined as the exchange of genetic contents between the unicellular and multi-cellular organisms, which do not include the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring. This process is responsible for evolution by mixing the genetic material of two species.

Medical microbiologists believe that overuse of antibiotics in animal feed may select for antibiotic resistant bacteria which subsequently can be passed on to humans, potentially causing infection by these antibiotic resistant bacteria.
