Gene transfer
Gene transfer refers to the process of genetic material (e.g. DNA)
being sent and received among two organisms ---> Donor sends
and recipient receives the genetic material.
There are two processes of gene transfer :?
1) Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer
Horizontal gene transfer is the process by which genetic material is passed between two different organism, i.e. organism of different
species.
The recipient is not the offspring of donor.
The most important example is gene transfer between the bacteria.
The processes of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria are :-
1. Transduction
2. Transformation
3. Conjugation
2) Vertical gene transfer
Vertical gene transfer is the process of transferring genetic material to organism of same species, i.e. donor recieves genetic material from its ancestor, e.g. its parent or a species from which it evolved.
Therefore, the donor will have the same general makeup as theparents.
Vertical gene transfer is "a mix of two parents", i.e. when two
organisms mate, their genes are vertically transfered to their spawn.
This process is not important in bacteria.
