  2. Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

    Lateral transduction is the process by which very long fragments of bacterial DNA are transferred to another bacterium. So far, this form of transduction has been only described in Staphylococcus aureus, but it can transfer more genes and at higher frequencies than generalized and specialized transduction. In lateral transduction, the prophage ...

  3. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    Genes are transferred via transduction as the prophage genome is imperfectly excised from the host chromosome and integrated into a new host (specialized transduction) or as fragments of host DNA are packaged into the phage particles and introduced into a new host (generalized transduction). [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Transduction...

    English: This is an illustration of the difference between generalized transduction, which is the process of transferring any bacterial gene to a second bacterium through a bacteriophage and specialized transduction, which is the process of moving restricted bacterial genes to a recipient bacterium. While generalized transduction can occur ...

  5. Transduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction

    Transduction (machine learning), the process of directly drawing conclusions about new data from previous data, without constructing a model; Transduction (physiology), the transportation of stimuli to the nervous system; Transduction (psychology), reasoning from specific cases to general cases, typically employed by children during their ...

  6. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    Transformation is one of three forms of horizontal gene transfer that occur in nature among bacteria, in which DNA encoding for a trait passes from one bacterium to another and is integrated into the recipient genome by homologous recombination; the other two are transduction, carried out by means of a bacteriophage, and conjugation, in which a ...

  7. Signal transduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_transduction

    Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events. Proteins responsible for detecting stimuli are generally termed receptors , although in some cases the term sensor is used. [ 1 ]

  8. AP Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Chemistry

    The 2014 AP Chemistry exam was the first administration of a redesigned test as a result of a redesigning of the AP Chemistry course. The exam format is now different from the previous years, with 60 multiple choice questions (now with only four answer choices per question), 3 long free response questions, and 4 short free response questions.

  9. Receptor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor_(biochemistry)

    The natural endogenous ligand with the greatest efficacy for a given receptor is by definition a full agonist (100% efficacy). Partial agonists do not activate receptors with maximal efficacy, even with maximal binding, causing partial responses compared to those of full agonists (efficacy between 0 and 100%).
