Transfer of DNA fragments from a donor to receptor bacterial cell through the medium is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Transformation
Transcription is a process in which RNA is synthesized from the DNA template. Translation is a process by which protein is synthesized from the RNA template. Transformation is one of the processes of horizontal gene transfer technique. It is a process in which DNA fragment is directly taken up and incorporated through the cell membrane into a receptor bacterial cell from a donor. Transduction is another horizontal gene transfer technique in which the DNA fragment is introduced into the receptor cell via a virus. Thus, the correct answer is 'Transformation.'
