English term or phrase: transfect, fusion
The amoeba Dictyostelium
discoideum was transfected with genes encoding two fusion
proteins: a G fused to cyan fluorescent protein (CFP), a mutant
form of green fluorescent protein (GFP), and a G fused to an-
other GFP variant, yellow fluorescent protein (YFP).

Explanation:
I believe each term should have been posted as a Kudoz question on its own.
There is no single Arabic term that I know of that would translate the term transfect. In microbiology which is the most relevant specific field, transfect means: infection of a cell with isolated viral nucleic acid followed by production of the complete virus in the cell OR the incorporation of exogenous DNA into a cell.
Fusion in this context is: The protein(s) on the surface of a virus particle responsible for fusion of the virus envelope with cellular membranes.

Fusion protein is بروتين الالتحام. This is just for clarification.
