They have been employed in almost all fields of biological studies, including Genetics. The whole edifice of science of Genetics centers around three processes: the generation, expression, and transmission of biological variation, and bacteria offer immediate advantages in studying all the three aspects of heredity. Being haploid and structurally simple, it becomes easy to isolate mutations of various kinds and relate them to a function. The availability of such mutants and their detailed genetic and biochemical analyses lead to a gamut of information on gene expression and its regulation. While studying the transmission of biological variation, it is clear that unlike their eukaryotic counterpart, a more genetic approach needs to be employed. Transmission of genetic information in most eukaryotic organisms rests on sexual reproduction that allows the generation of genetically variable offspring through the process of gene recombination. Even though bacteria show an apparent preference for asexual repr | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Gene transfer; Generation of variability; Plasmid biology; Prokaryotic organisms; Genetics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1090-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-81-322-2865-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-81-322-1090-0 | copyright | Springer Nature India Private Limited 2013 |
