Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To describe: The contribution of transduction to the rapid evolution of bacterial population.
Introduction: Horizontal transfer of bacterial plasmid containing genetic material to similar or different bacterial species leads to genetic recombination. Horizontal gene transfer along with mutations is considered a major factor in evolution of prokaryotes.
