Specialized transduction is where there is a set up restricted genes is moved to another cell. During this process there are many different things going on, including deletion and positive things like DNA being put in a good source. Donor genes are mentioned and are transferred genes and depend on where the DNA is located.
The benefits of specialized transductions are very high. Points like transduction being very efficient transfer of a small region, that means the transfer can go over smoother and faster. Specialized transduction is also very helpful source of DNA for the chromosomal region carried by the phage. This means DNA can be extracted and tested more efficiently. Also in specialized transduction it can often be used to select for deletion of some of the chromosomal genes carried on the phage. This means that sometimes unwanted genes can be deleted during transduction and make for an overall better cycle. …show more content…
This means a bacterial virus can be entered and you would not know until it starts to take affect. There are sometimes many bad genes that are transferred, which also leads to the spread of unknown viruses. All around the downsides include the virus and spreading of the bacteria. This a a major problem and with the smooth transfer of bacteria during the process then it will quicken the speed of the bacterial virus spreading. This leads to many problems and incorporating heredity, can easily be spread during the next
