The horizontal transfer process known as transduction ___________
A. involves a virus
B. requires a pilus
C. requires a cell tobe "competent"
D requires a plasmid
E. involves a mutagen

Respuesta :

Answer:

involves a virus

Explanation:

Transduction is the process where DNA molecules are transferred from one bacterium to another using viruses as vectors (bacteriophages). These, when assembled within the bacteria, may eventually include pieces of DNA from the host bacteria. By infecting another bacterium, the virus that carries the bacterial DNA transfers it along with yours. If the bacterium survives viral infection, it may include the genes of another bacterium in its genome.
