Vedclass · Answer

(C) Transduction is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.In this process,genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus,specifically a bacteriophage.When a bacteriophage infects a donor bacterium,it may accidentally package host bacterial $DNA$ into its viral capsid.Upon lysing the donor cell,these phages are released and subsequently infect a recipient bacterium,injecting the donor's genetic material into it.Therefore,the correct mechanism is the involvement of bacteriophages released from the donor bacterial strain.
