transduction
transduction
Definition
trans·duc·tion (trans duk′s̸hən, tranz-)
noun
- the transfer of energy from one system to another
- Genetics the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage, which may lead to the acquisition of a new gene by the recipient
Etymology: < L transductus, pp. of transducere: see transducer
