Question

The processes of transformation and transduction are important to which kingdom and why?

Answer 1

Protista: Both processes are steps in the process of putting the Protista into the endospore state which provides protection from harsh conditions.
Bacteria: Both processes provide the Bacteria with new genes that might provide new ways of dealing with environmental changes.
Viruses: Both processes would help a virus strain produce flagella to move away from difficult environmental conditions.
Fungi: Both processes would allow Fungi to form physical connections to other Bacteria so they could trade genes useful for survival.
