General transduction

Specialized transduction

Abortive transduction

The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template

The transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring

The synthesis of protein in RNA

The transmission of genetic information from one independent, mature organism to another

a small deletion occurs in the transposase gene of an IS element

an IS element integrates with another IS element with the help of a plasmid

two IS elements integrate into a chromosome with only a small distance separating them

a small deletion occurs in the transposase gene of an IS element and plasmid is integrated

Griffith

McClintock

Harvey

Abelson

a bacteriophage genome is integrated into the bacterial genome

bacteria take up double stranded DNA from the environment

a bacteriophage transfers bacterial DNA

DNA-degrading enzymes in the extracellular medium would stop the process

Virulence plasmid

Metabolic plasmid
