Detailed explanation-1: -Plasmid or vector transformation is the process by which exogenous DNA is transferred into the host cell. Transformation usually implies uptake of DNA into bacterial, yeast or plant cells, while transfection is a term usually reserved for mammalian cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -In transformation, the DNA (usually in the form of a plasmid) is introduced into a competent strain of bacteria, so that the bacteria may then replicate the sequence of interest in amounts suitable for further analysis and/or manipulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transduction is not a biology-specific term. The common definition of transduction is “leading through or across”. The term has been used to describe DNA transfer between bacterial cells by bacteriophages, which attach to the cell membranes of bacteria and insert their genetic material into the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: By transformation, the rDNA is incorporated into the host bacterial cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -That’s true for bacteria as well as plants and animals. So it’s not too surprising that prokaryotes can share genes by three other mechanisms: conjugation, transformation, and transduction.
