Bacteria genome recombination can result in ___________, and one of these methods is _________.
mutations / translation
membrane disruption / transduction
antibiotic resistance / transduction
unfolding of proteins / transformation
lysosome bursting / conjugation
Bacteria genome recombination can result in antibiotic resistance, and one of these methods is transduction.
Discussion and explanation:
Bacterial genome recombination is one of the important mechanism by which bacteria originally sensitive to a particular antibiotic becomes resistant by acquiring the gene responsible for antibiotic resistance from some other bacteria.
Three common ways of genetic transfer in bacteria are :
1) Transformation - Bacterium acquires new gene from its environment.
2) Transduction - Bacterium acquires gene by means of virus.
3) Conjugation - One bacterium (recepient bacterium) receives genetic element from other (donor) bacterium through a tube like structure called pilus.
