This document contains two parts that provide multiple choice questions about microbial genetics concepts. Part 1 questions focus on bacteriophage genetics topics like the difference between lysogenic and lytic phage cycles. Part 2 questions cover bacterial horizontal gene transfer mechanisms such as transduction, conjugation, and transformation. The reference cited at the end is a textbook on molecular biology.
