: 15) Contains special genes that are not related to basic life functions. i.e. antibiotic resistance. Can be transferred from one bacterial cell to another. Bacterial DNA. Plasmid DNA.

: 18) High frequency of replication (Hfr) strains can donate chromosomal genes rather than just the F plasmid. The F factor attaches to the chromosome using an insertion sequence. FIGURE 6b: Conjugation.

: 19) generalized transduction: A DNA fragment is transferred from one bacterium to another by a lytic bacteriophage that is now carrying donor bacterial DNA due to an error in maturation during the lytic life cycle. specialized transduction: A DNA fragment is transferred from one bacterium to another by a temperate bacteriophage that is now carrying donor bacterial DNA due to an error in spontaneous induction during the lysogenic life cycle.
