PCT, low-density disks, and Apple 3.5 drives

Just a question --

If PC disks are MFM, and Apple disks are GCR, then how does the PC
Transporter use an Apple 3.5 drive to read and write low-density
(720k) disks?

And, if the Apple 3.5 can be used to read PC 720k disks, would it be
possible to write a utility on the PC to write 800k ProDOS disks?  Why
or why not?

Just wonderin',

Bruce
