Generalized transduction, such as that used to obtain the data in the question above, is one way in which bacteria can introduce DNA to their cells. Which of the following is a property of generalized transduction?
A. It is sensitive to the addition of DNase in the media
B. Transducing phage particles contain phage DNA linked to bacterial DNA
C. Transducing phage particles contain only bacterial DNA
D. The donor cell that releases the generalized transducing particles must be in contact with the recipient cell that receives the particles
