Question

difference between conjucation,transduction and transformation tabler colum
​

Answer 1

In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.

Answer 2

Conjugation

• conjugation is the process of tranfer of DNA from the donor bacterium to the recipient bacterium
• It involves two bacteria , one is donor and other is the recipient
• This process involves physical contact between two the bacterium . Two bacteria are joined together by a conjugation
• The conjugation process is resident to DNase as the DNA is present inside the bacteria

Transformation

• Transformation is the uptake of DNA from their surroundings
• It involves only one bacterium
• There is no physical contact between the two bacteria
• The transfer of DNA by transformation is sensitive to the Dnase

Transduction

• Tranduction is the process of transfer of DNA from the donor bacterium to the recipient bacterium by using a virus as a vector
• It involves two bacteria one is donor and other is the recipient
• The process involves two bacteria but there is no physical contact between them
• Tranduction is also DNase resistant . There is no naked DNA present
