Ques. 1AIPMT 2002

Which statement is correct for bacterial transduction?

  1. Transfer of some genes from one bacterium to another bacterium through virus.
  2. Transfer of genes from one bacterium to another bacterium by conjugation.
  3. Bacterium obtained its DNA directly from mother cell.
  4. Bacterium obtained DNA from other external source.

Answer

(1) Transfer of some genes from one bacterium to another bacterium through virus.

Solution

Bacteria show three types of gene transfer (sexual reproduction by DNA transfer):

Conjugation – transfer of DNA through direct cell-to-cell contact.

Transformation – uptake of naked DNA from the surroundings.

Transduction – transfer of genes from one bacterium to another through a bacteriophage (virus).

∴ Transduction is the transfer of some genes from one bacterium to another bacterium through a virus.
