, For many years, the first course of treatment for illness
was antibiotics. Health providers would use these
drugs regardless of being able to diagnose illnesses as
bacterial, viral, or something altogether different. Over
time, the overuse of antibiotics led to bacteria that
accrued mutations leading to resistance. Eventually
more pathogenic bacteria arose with the same
resistance, and standard antibiotic treatment no longer
worked.
Question 2 pts
When the bacteria are cultured but separated by a filter so that
they cannot directly touch, one of the bacterial strains can grow
well on minimal medium. What type of genetic transmission
occurred in this experiment? Explain how you know.
Your Answer:
transduction, because bacteria can be transfer genetic material
with the absense of contact which if filter paper is blocking bacteria
cells but some still grow that is the process
Transduction occurred in this experiment because the
bacteria did not require direct contact to transmit
genetic material.
