_______ is a procedure through which a piece of DNA is introduced in a host bacterium.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Transformation is the process in which a piece of DNA (usually plasmid DNA) is introduced into a host bacterium and gets incorporated or maintained within it.
Transduction → DNA transfer via bacteriophages
Conjugation → direct transfer between bacteria through pilus
R.D.T → recombinant DNA technology (a broader technique, not a single process).
