What did advances in molecular genetics reveal about the relationship between many prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
They are more closely related than to other prokaryotes
What is the primary cellular machinery difference among the three domains of life mentioned in the text?

What is the process called when DNA from different bacterial species is transferred between them?
Horizontal gene transfer
In the process of transduction, how does the phage DNA get incorporated into the recipient bacterial cell?
The phage packages a fragment of the donor cell's DNA into its capsid, which then infects the recipient cell
Which process allows a prokaryotic cell to take up and incorporate foreign DNA from the surrounding environment?
Transformation
What type of cell is created through the process of transduction described in the text?

Which process involves the direct cell-to-cell transfer of genetic material between bacteria?
Conjugation
Which type of genetic recombination occurs when a prokaryotic cell takes up foreign DNA from the environment?
Transformation
Test your knowledge on bacterial conjugation, the process where genetic material is transferred between prokaryotic cells. Learn about the role of the F factor, the production of pili, and the mechanism of DNA transfer between donor and recipient cells.
