Transduction is defined as the transfer of genetic information between cells using a type of virus particle called a bacteriophage. The virus contains genetic material from one cell, which is introduced into the other cell upon virus infection of the...

Transduction is one of three basic mechanisms for genetic exchange in bacteria. Like transformation and conjugation, transduction allows the movement of genetic information from a donor cell to a recipient. Unlike the other mechanisms, however,...

Transduction is the process by which bacterial DNA is moved from one bacterium to another by a virus. When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) infect a bacterial cell, their normal mode of reproduction is to harness the DNA replication...
