How is generalized transduction different from specialized transduction? A) Only one specific host gene is transferred in both specialized and generalized transduction. B) Specialized transduction uses animal viruses instead of bacteriophage. C) Generalized transduction is initiated during the lytic cycle of a virulent bacteriophage; specialized transduction is initiated during the lysogenic cycle of a temperate bacteriophage. D) Generalized transduction is initiated by a lysogenic bacteriophage; specialized transduction is initiated by a lytic phage.

C) Generalized transduction is initiated during the lytic cycle of a virulent bacteriophage; specialized transduction is initiated during the lysogenic cycle of a temperate bacteriophage: Generalized transduction occurs when the phage is in the lytic cycle, while specialized transduction occurs when the phage is in the lysogenic cycle.
