Which of the following is not true of specialized transduction? A. It is carried out by temperate phage.
B. It is restricted to those genes on either side of an integrated prophage.
C. The phage genome retains the full complement of phage genes.
D. All of the choices are correct.

C. The phage genome retains the full complement of phage genes.

Explanation:

Transduction refers to the mechanism where a bacteriophage (i.e., a virus capable of infecting bacteria) transfers exogenous DNA from one bacterium to another. During transduction, the bacteriophage coopts the host (bacterial) cellular machinery in order to replicate their own genetic material, for which the virus needs to integrate its own genetic material into the bacterial genome. Specialized transduction refers to the genetic mechanism where a particular set of bacterial genes (donor genes) is passed to another bacterium. This process occurs when a bacteriophage genome that is inserted into the bacterial genome (also known as prophage) excises imprecisely and then adjacent donor genes are included in the excised genetic material.

bradykinin is a physiologically and pharmacologically active peptide of the kinin group of proteins, consisting of nine amino acids.

the answer to the blank provided is “an autosomal gene that is required for the expression of genes on the x chromosome”.

testis-determining factor, abbreviated as td, which is more popularly known as sex-determining region y or sry protein, is a dna-binding protein or  gene-regulatory protein/transcription factor, encoded by the  sry gene. it is the gene responsible for the initiation of male gender determination in humans.
