If you put a lump of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) in a paper cup or
on a paper plate on the kitchen counter, it gets smaller and smaller
and finally it just disappears, but you never see a puddle around it
like you would with regular ice!

Carbon dioxide has no liquid phase when the pressure on it is less than
about 5 times normal atmospheric pressure.  So in the kind of pressure
that we like to live in, dry ice goes straight to gas when it melts.  That kind
of behavior is called "sublimation", and we say that the dry ice "sublimes".

Every substance has some pressure limit like that.  For water, it's 0.006 of
normal atmospheric pressure.  At any pressure lower than that, liquid water
can't exist, and an ice cube sublimes ... it melts directly into water vapor
without a puddle.

Which best describes transduction in bacteria
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Transduction is a process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by the action of a virus. It is also used to designate the process by which exogenous DNA is introduced into a cell by a viral vector. This is a tool that molecular biologists usually use to introduce a foreign gene in a controlled way into the genome of a recipient cell.

Explanation:

When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) infect a bacterial cell, their normal mode of reproduction consists in capturing and using the machinery of replication, transcription, and translation of the recipient bacteria cell to produce large numbers of virons, or produce particles. viral, including viral DNA or RNA and protein coat.
