D
Transduction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the different methods of genetic transfer in bacteria: Conjugation, Transformation, and Transduction.
Conjugation involves the direct transfer of DNA from one bacterial cell to another through a physical connection called a pilus.
Transformation is the process where bacteria take up free DNA from their environment.
Replication is the process of copying DNA within a cell, not a method of transferring genes between cells.
Transduction is the process where a virus, known as a bacteriophage, transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another. This occurs when a bacteriophage accidentally incorporates a segment of bacterial DNA into its viral genome and then infects another bacterial cell, introducing the new genetic material.
