Study Strategy: This is one of the most common board questions with a built-in memory aid. Here is the full write-up on the SPORTS procedure, also called âimmediate action,â from FM 3-22.9: 3-2. Immediate action involves quickly applying a possible correction to reduce a stoppage without performing troubleshooting procedures to determine the actual cause. Apply immediate action only once for a stoppage.
In bacterial recombination, genes from one bacterium are incorporated into the genome of another bacterium through crossing over. Bacterial recombination is accomplished by the processes of conjugation, transformation, or transduction.
1 Another method of genetic transfer and recombination is transduction. 2  This method involves the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another with the use of a bacteriophage (phage). 3  A phage is a virus that infects bacteria.  The phage T4 and the phage lambda, for example, both infect E. coli.
