Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector.
Answer:
In genetics, transduction is the process by which exogenous genetic material is introduced using a bacteriophage as a vector.
Explanation:
Transduction is defined as the genetic transfer from a donor cell to another recipient by a bacteriophage. The transduction consists of two stages:
-The formation of the transducer phage particle, the genetic material is introduced inside the capsid of a phage.
-The transducer phage particle injects the DNA, where it can recombine and thus express its information. The transduction was discovered by Lederberg and Zinder.
