Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	amplification
B	transduction
C	transcription
D	signal transduction

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Transduction is the process by which a virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another. Viruses called bacteriophages are able to infect bacterial cells and use them as hosts to make more viruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus. It also refers to the process whereby foreign DNA is introduced into another cell via a viral vector.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transduction is the process of using a virus to mediate the delivery of DNA fragments or plasmids into a cell, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transduction is a mode of genetic transfer from one bacteria to another through a virus. There is no direct contact between the bacterial cells. The other ways of genetic recombination in bacteria include transformation and conjugation.
