Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The characteristics of true transduction and transformation reproduction below are ____
A
Transduction is the transfer of pieces of genetic material or DNA from the outside to the recipient bacterial cell, transformation is the exchange of genetic material by forming a building/bridge/sheath to channel the genetic material
B
Transduction is the transfer of DNA from the donor cell to the recipient cell by means of a virus, the transformation is the transfer of pieces of genetic material or DNA from outside to the recipient bacterial cell
C
Transduction is the exchange of genetic material by forming a building/bridge/sheath to distribute the genetic material, transformation is the transfer of pieces of genetic material or DNA from the outside to the recipient bacterial cell
D
Transduction is the transfer of DNA from the donor cell to the recipient cell by means of a virus, the transformation of the exchange of genetic material by forming a building/bridge/sheath to distribute the genetic material
E
Transduction is the exchange of genetic material by forming a building/bridge/sheath to distribute the genetic material, transformation is the transfer of DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transduction involves the transfer of either a chromosomal DNA fragment or a plasmid from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage. Conjugation is a transfer of DNA from a living donor bacterium to a living recipient bacterium by cell-to-cell contact. In Gram-negative bacteria it involves a conjugation pilus.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating. Recombination is the rearrangement of donor and recipient genomes to form new, hybrid genomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transformation is the uptake of genetic material from the environment by bacterial cells. In nature, this genetic material often comes from adjacent lysed bacteria and can include plasmid DNA or fragmented DNA released into the environment.
