OpenStudy (anonymous):

The process where a virus takes a segment of DNA from one bacterial cell and inserts it in another bacterial cell is known as transformation mutation transduction conjugation i think the 2 last ones but not sure...

OpenStudy (abhisar):

is more than one correct ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Nopes, only one is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just 1 but im torn apart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the 2 answers of course

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Conjugation is the process in which DNA is transfered from one bacterium to another by cell to cell contact.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Transduction is the process in which DNA from one bacterium is transferred to another by a virus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its conjugation based on your definition right?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No, its transduction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you said its moved from one bacterium to another another virus so wouldn't it be conjugation?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Conjugation is when transfer of DNA takes place by cell to cell contact and Transduction is when transfer is done by a virus.
