The uptake of naked DNA by bacteria is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Transformation
- Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between two bacterial strains via the conjugation tube.
- Transformation is the transfer of genetic material from one bacterial strain to another without establishing physical contact. In this, the naked DNA is taken up by bacteria.
- Transfection is the process of introducing naked DNA into the eukaryotic cell. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material from one strain to others via viral particles.
- The virus infects bacteria and released viral particles carry part of the bacterial genetic material which is then transferred to the next host bacterium.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
