In Transposition of bacterial DNA, a _____ can move to a plasmid, allowing transfer to another bacterium via conjugation

When high frequency strains of bacteria undergo _____, they transfer their bacterial genome with the plasmid to the recipient

_____ is a system used by bacterial cells to recognise and destroy viral DNA as a form of adaptive immunity

_____ strains of bacteria will take plasmids and incorporate them into their cellular DNA

_____ describes a transposon of bacterial DNA that can "jump" from one location to another (ie: bacterial DNA or even a plasmid)

_____ -toxin genes are typically not part of a chromosome, and instead are encoded by plasmids and bacteriophages

_____ bacterial DNA transduction occurs when a lytic phage infects the bacterium
