Pathogen Adaptation and Evolution - Gene Transfer
3 important questions on Pathogen Adaptation and Evolution - Gene Transfer
Vertical gene transfer
Transfer of newly evolved genes directly to all progeny (inherited)
Rolling circle replication
The most common way of conjugation. Where the plasmid is replicated as a linear strand, then transferred to the other by the sex pillus after which it becomes circular again.
3 Fates of inserted DNA
1. Recycling for spare parts
2. It was originally a plasmid and can become that again
3. Homologous recombination if homologous to a gene
