Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Transduction
The process in which (genetic material is carried by some external agency) viruses are involved in sexual reproduction of bacteria is called as transduction. The process in which the exogenous genetic material is directly taken up and incorporated by the cell from its surroundings is called as transformation. Transformation and transduction are types of horizontal gene transfer mechanism. The process in which DNA is transcribed into RNA by enzyme RNA polymerase is called as transcription. The process in which RNA is translated into amino acids is called as translation. It is the process of synthesis of protein.Thus, the correct answer is 'Transduction.'
