Other species, such as E. coli, can be in duced to transport DNA under special conditions. DNA transported into a cell can recombine with the recipient's chromosome. Genetic markers on the DNA will be stably inherited following transformation. Transforming DNAs are usually small linear fragments of the donor's large circular chromosome. If two donor alleles exist on a single DNA molecule, they can be simultaneously inherited by a single recombination event. The fre quency of such a cotrans- formation is a measure of the distance between the two alleles
