Question

A transducing phage

Answer 1

Answer:

contains fragments of the host chromosome instead of the viral genome.

Explanation:

A transducing phage is the phage which contains fragments of the host chromosome instead of the viral genome. A transducing phage is made when infected host cell containing phage is lysed and the newly forming phage incorporate the host DNA instead of it's own genetic material into the capsid.

The transducing phage have ability to infect other bacteria and inject the genetic material to the host cell which have ability to incorporate in host genome. This process is called generalized transduction because any bacterial chromosomal part can be introduced in host genome.
