<prompt> The transfer of genetic information from one cell to another can occur by three methods. Phage mediated transfer of cell DNA into host is known as?TransductionTranformationTransmissionConjugation  <response>: The transfer of genetic information from one cell to another can occur by three methods: conjugation, transduction, and transformation. Conjugation is the mating of two bacterial cells, during which DNA is transferred from the donor to the recipient cell Figure 4-2. The mating process is controlled by an F feility plasmid F factor, which carries the genes for the proteins required for conjugation. Transduction is the transfer of cell DNA by means of a bacterial virus bacteriophage, phage. Transformation is the transfer of DNA itself from one cell to another. Ref: Levinson W. 2012. Chapter 4.
