Transduction (genetics) Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector. An example is the viral transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another. Transduction does not require physical contact between the cell donating the DNA and the cell receiving the DNA (which occurs in conjugation), and it is DNase resistant (transformation is susceptible to DNase).
Genetic engineering is the process by which scientists modify the genome of an organism. Creation of genetically modified organisms requires recombinant DNA. Recombinant DNA is a combination of DNA from different organisms or different locations in a given genome that would not normally be found in nature.esson Summary. In summary, genetic engineering is the process by which scientists modify the genome of an organism. Recombinant DNA is a combination of DNA from different organisms or different locations in a given genome that would not normally be found in nature. GMO stands for genetically modified organism.
