Question
The horizontal transfer of DNA using a plasmid is an example ofa. generalized transduction.b. binary fission.c. transformation.d. conjugation.
Step 1
Bacteria can reproduce through binary fission, where the new cells are identical to the mother cell. This process does not involve any genetic variability. Transduction involves the contamination of bacteria with pieces of DNA from other bacteria that have been Show more…
