Question

In recombination studies of the rII locus in phage T4, what is the significance of the value determined by calculating phage growth in the K12 versus the B strains of E. coli following simultaneous infection in E. coli B? Which value is always greater?

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So the transfer of genetic material from parent to offspring is referred to as blank. However, the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another is called as blank. Well, in order to solve this problem, we just need to visualize what these transfers are going to look like. Let's say that we have apparent organism and then we have the the offspring of this organism. But we also have an organism that's in the same generation as the parents. Now, if we're transferring as the first sentence says genetic material from pairing to offspring, we can see that this is going to be transferred vertically because of this. This is termed as vertical gene transfer. However, when we're transferring genetic material from the parent to someone else in its in its same generation, then we're transferring or horizontally meaning that this is going to be called horizontal gene transfer. And this is going to be represented by answer choice. So the transfer of genetic material from praying to offspring is referred to as vertical gene transfer. However, the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another is called horizontal gene transfer. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one
