How do you compare transduction, transformation, and conjugation?
Can you explain the difference between transduction, transformation, and conjugation?
Sure, I'd be happy to help with that. Transduction involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another via a bacteriophage. Transformation involves the uptake of genetic material from the environment by a bacterium. Conjugation involves the direct transfer of genetic material between bacteria through a pilus.
