What gives selective advantage? |
Variation |
|
|
This is a process which genetic material carried by an individual cell and is altered by the incorporation of foreign (exogenous) DNA into its genome |
Transformation |
|
|
This is the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another by bacteriophage, which may lead to the acquision of a new gene by the recipient |

|
|
What is the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another |
bacteriophage |
|
|
This is the temporary joining together of 2 bacterial cells to transfer genetic material via the plasmid from donor cell to recipient cell |
Conjugation |
