Which process uses a bacteriophage as an intermediary for the genetic information?
A) transformation
B) transduction
C) conjugation
D) fission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction is the process by which genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage. The bacteriophage serves as an intermediary, carrying the genetic information from the donor bacterium to the recipient bacterium. Transformation involves the uptake of free DNA by a bacterial cell, conjugation involves the transfer of DNA through direct cell-to-cell contact, and fission is a process of cell division.
