Which of the following is not true for specialized transduction?
A. The lysogenic viruses can perform this
B. A variety of genes can be transformed in this case
C. The viral genome is then incorporated in the bacterial genome
D. It is seen in lamda phage like K12
Answer:B

Explanation: Here the viral genome is actually incorporated in the bacterial genome at a particular site. The virus can transfer the gene surrounding its recombination site only. It is certainly through lusogenic cycle which is seen in lamda phages including K12.
