transduction

Examples of transduction in the following topics:

• Bacterial Transduction

  • Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus.
  • Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus .
  • Transduction happens through either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle.
  • Transduction is a method for transferring genetic material.
  • Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus.

• Prokaryotic Reproduction

  • Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by binary fission; they can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.
  • In transduction, bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, sometimes also move short pieces of chromosomal DNA from one bacterium to another.
  • Transduction results in a recombinant organism.
  • In (b) transduction, a bacteriophage injects DNA into the cell that contains a small fragment of DNA from a different prokaryote.

• Putting Foreign DNA into Cells

  • ., transformation, transduction, transfection, and electroporation).
  • The methods used to get DNA into cells are varied, and the name applied to this step in the molecular cloning process will often depend upon the experimental method that is chosen (e.g., transformation, transduction, transfection, electroporation).
  • In contrast, transduction involves the packaging of DNA into virus-derived particles, and using these virus-like particles to introduce the encapsulated DNA into the cell through a process resembling viral infection.
  • Although electroporation and transduction are highly specialized methods, they may be the most efficient methods to move DNA into cells.

• Bacteriophage Lambda as a Cloning Vector

  • Lambda phage has been of major importance in the study of specialized transduction.
  • Specialized transduction is the process by which a restricted set of bacterial genes are transferred to another bacterium .
  • Specialized transduction occurs when the prophage excises imprecisely from the chromosome so that bacterial genes lying adjacent to the prophage are included in the excised DNA.
  • Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus.It also refers to the process whereby foreign DNA is introduced into another cell via a viral vector.

• Transduction of Sound

  • The cochlea is a whorled structure, like the shell of a snail, and it contains receptors for transduction of the mechanical wave into an electrical signal.
  • The site of transduction is in the organ of Corti (spiral organ).
  • The organ of Corti (bottom image) is the site of sound transduction.

• Two-Component Regulatory Systems

  • Signal transduction occurs through the transfer of phosphoryl groups from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to a specific histidine residue in the histidine kinases (HK).
  • Two-component signal transduction systems enable bacteria to sense, respond and adapt to a wide range of environments, stressors and growth conditions.
  • Signal transducing histidine kinases are the key elements in two-component signal transduction systems.

• Transduction of Light

  • The rods and cones are the site of transduction of light into a neural signal.

• Transduction and Perception

  • Transduction is the process that converts a sensory signal to an electrical signal to be processed in a specialized area in the brain.

• Reception

  • This process is called sensory transduction.
  • There are two broad types of cellular systems that perform sensory transduction.
  • In the second type of sensory transduction, a sensory nerve ending responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment; this neuron constitutes the sensory receptor.

• Reception and Transduction

  • Transduction of the five tastes happens through different mechanisms that reflect the molecular composition of the tastant.
