Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translocation is the movement of soluble organic material through plants, from the site of photosynthesis or storage to other parts of the plant, such as leaves, stems, flowers, and roots. Transduction is a term used in genetics to describe the transfer of genetic information from one bacterial cell to another by means of a bacteriophage. Transformation is a genetic process by which bacteria take up DNA from their environment and incorporate it into their genome. Transpiration is the process by which water is lost from the leaves and stems of plants through small pores called stomata. None of these terms describe the movement of soluble organic material through plants as specifically as translocation.
