Which mode of reproduction is matched correctly with its description?

1. transduction-virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another

2. conjugation - involves splitting of one cell and results in two identical cells 3. binary fission--requires direct cell-to-cell contact of bacteria

4. transformation uses a pilus to transmit genetic information between bacteria

The correct statement is: t ransduction-virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another. This is a process in which a virus is responsible for transferring DNA from one bacterium to the other. This process does not require physical contact between the cell donating and cell receiving the DNA. Transduction is used by molecular biologists to experiment on host cell genomes when foreign genes are introduced.
