Two bacteria grow together. One appears to donate DNA to the other. One of the bacteria contains a bacteriophage that is normally quiescent but occasionally forms a plaque. What sort of genetic exchange is most likely to be occurring

Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells) ... This cross-linking produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.
