Understand Key Concepts

1. The process by which one strain of bacterium is changed into another strain is called
a. transcription.
b. transformation.
c. duplication.
d. replication.

2. Bacteriophages are
a. a form of bacteria.
b. coils of DNA.



Answer :

Final answer:

Transformation involves DNA uptake in bacteria, transduction transfers genetic material via bacteriophages, and conjugation is DNA transfer through cell-to-cell contact.


Explanation:

Transformation is the process by which a bacterium takes in DNA from its environment, potentially leading to genetic changes. In contrast, transduction involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage. Lastly, conjugation is the transfer of DNA from a living donor bacterium to a living recipient bacterium via cell-to-cell contact.
