Usually, genes are transferred by bacteriophages, viruses that precisely takeover bacteria cells. Phages inject their own genetic material into the host cell like tiny syringes, compelling it to produce new phages. Throughout this occurrence, genes from the bacterial genome can be combined into the newly made phages. Subsequently, they inject their newly altered genetic load into other bacteria. By this, bacteriophages serve as a transportation, taking up DNA from one bacterium and leaving it into another. Bacteria can also connect through tiny connection tubes wherein they exchange pieces of DNA. They can take up genetic material from the environment as well. There are actually three ways for bacteria to transfer genes. The first one is called Conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA straight from one cell to another through cell-cell contact. Secondly, bacteria are adept at taking up DNA right from their environment and combining it into their genomes.This process is known as natural Transformation. Lastly, Transduction, wherein DNA is transferred from one cell to another by a virus.

Andrej [43]
Question: Is the pre-synaptic or the post-synaptic neuron damaged? Explain your rationale in detail (in other words, detail how you came to your conclusion). You're going to have to really think on this one. It's not something you can look up in the text. You will need to use what you have learned about the autonomic nervous system and some critical thinking to arrive at the answer.

Horner's Syndrome riddle: Ach is the neurotransmitter at all ANS preganglionic fibers, including SNS. The pt has decreased sweating and pupil constriction, indicating blockage of SNS transmission. When the MD gave ACh it induced sweating, but not pupil dilation. This is because the sweat glands are an exception in normal SNS transmission, as the postganglionic fibers utilize ACh as their neurotransmitters. Other SNS pathways utilize NE as their neurotransmitter. So ACh acted directly on the sweat gland to produce sweating, but could not stimulate the typical postsynaptic neurons to release NE. When the MD gave NE he saw pupil dilation, but not sweating, indicating the NE worked directly at the iris to produce pupil dilation. This indicaates the problem was with the postsganglionic neuron. If the preganglionic neuron were the problem injecting ACh would have solved both problems.
