Solution
The correct option is A Transduction Translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins. Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus. It is the process whereby foreign DNA is introduced into another cell via viral vector. Transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material. Conjugation is the process of transferring the genetic material between bacterial cells. Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
