The transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another through the mediation of a viral vector is termed as:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Transduction
Transduction:
Transduction is the process of transferring DNA into a call using a viral vector. The gene of interest is incorporated into the viral genome and when it infects next bacteria, the new gene is incorporated into the bacterial genome.
Conjugation:
Conjugation is the process of transfer of genomic DNA or plasmid DNA from one bacterium to another through conjugation tubes.
Transformation:
Transformation is the process of uptake of foreign DNA by the bacteria from the environment.
Translation:
Translation is the process of formation of a polypeptide from mRNA.
