Which of the following is TRUE of generalized transduction? Group of answer choices any gene in the bacterial chromosome could be transferred to another bacteria. only those genes near the attachment site could be transferred to another bacteria. only those genes that are homologous to the viral DNA will be packaged into phages. it can occur only with temperate phages.
