Question

Explain the use of viral vectors in gene transfer to prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Answer 1

this is used to remove the bacteria !

Answer 2

Explanation:

All viruses attack their hosts and introduce their genetic material into the host cell as part of their replication cycle. This genetic material contains basic 'instructions' of how to produce more copies of these viruses, hijacking the body's normal production machinery to serve the needs of the virus (see figure 1). The host cell will carry out these instructions and produce additional copies of the virus, leading to more and more cells becoming infected. Some types of viruses actually physically insert their genes into the host's genome. This incorporates the genes of that virus among the genes of the host cell for the life span of that cell.
