vertical gene transfer refers to
the inheritance of the parental gene to the progeny
prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, reproduce
asexually by budding or cell division to generate identical progeny/daughter cells
the chromosome of the daughter cells is
identical to the parent cells
in vertical gene transfer, genetic variation is made possible through
mutation
variation becomes vital to a population of bacteria when it is exposed to
change, such as new environment or competing microbes
the variation in the bacteria genome may lead to
progeny that are more adaptable towards the changes, and hence ensures the survivability of the bacteria species
