Solution

The correct option is A Transformation
Transformation is the transfer of genetic material from one bacterial strain to other without establishing a physical contact. Replication is the process of formation of daughter DNA using the existing DNA strand as the template. Synthesis of RNA using DNA strand as a template by RNA polymerase is termed as transcription. Translocation is the movement of mRNA between A and P sites of the ribosome during protein synthesis. The process of synthesis of polypeptides on ribosomes using the mRNA sequence is termed as translation. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
