Question
Chapter 21, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Horizontal gene transfer is the mechanism of acquisition of one organism’s genetic information in another organism of a different species that has no parent-daughter connection. The foundation about horizontal gene transfer occurred as an answer to the question of accumulating several bacterial genes in protests.
