1In generalized transduction...

B)a piece if injected DNA remains separate from the host DNA.
C)a segment of DNA is carried from one bacterial cell to another by a bacteriophage.
D)a segment of RNA is carried from one bacterial cell to another by a bacteriophage.
E)a plasmid is carried from one bacterial cell to another by a bacteriophage.



2When bacterial DNA is introduced into a new host cell by a bacteriophage...
A)it can be integrated into the bacterial chromosome.
B)it forms a plasmid in the host cell.
C)it remains separate from the host DNA.
D)it immediately forms new phages to be released from the cell.
E)it has no effect on the host DNA.



3Which of the following is not an aspect of generalized transduction?
A)DNA is injected into a host cell by a bacteriophage.
B)phage enzymes break down the hosts DNA.
C)phage DNA forms a plasmid.
