Title: Bacteria
Post by: timorito on Oct 3, 2010
two different strains of a mutant phage infect a single bacterium. one phae is d- and the other e-. some of the progeny are genotype d+e+ and some are d- e-. what genetic phenomenon does this demonstrate?
a.complementation
b.specialized transduction
c.generalized transduction
d.recombination

Is the answer recombination just from the d+ and e+ offspring?

Hey Tim,

Nope, it's more along the lines of transduction because it is dealing with phages.

It's B.
