Question
Chapter 27.3, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The different types of methods of DNA exchange in the prokaryotes.
Introduction: Horizontal gene transfer can be defined as the exchange of genetic contents between the unicellular and multi-cellular organisms that do not include the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring. This process is responsible for evolution by mixing the genetic material of two species.
