Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction is the process in which bacteriophages carry genetic material from one bacterial cell to another. The bacteriophage transfers the DNA from a donor cell to a recipient cell during the infection process. Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material through the physical contact between cells. Transposition is the movement of genetic material from one location to another within a genome. Transformation is when a cell takes up free DNA from its surroundings. Nucleotide excision is the repair process of removing and replacing damaged or faulty nucleotides in DNA.
