Chapter 25, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The horizontal gene transfer or movement of the genetic sequences from the parent to the offspring takes place separately and not along with the transmission of DNA. It is helpful in causing variations in the progeny and results in the evolution of the organism.
