Question

Which of the following statement is/are correct with respect to bacterial transduction
Statement (A): A partially diploid bacterial cell for the transduced gene can be produced.
Statement (B): The partial diploid case is resulted due to a complete transduction phenomenon
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both A and B are correct.
• B. B is correct but A is incorrect.
• C. A is correct but B is incorrect.
• D. Both A and B are incorrect.

Hint:

Stable integration of donor DNA represents complete transduction, while unintegrated donor DNA leads to transient partial diploidy in abortive transduction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
