Which mode of reproduction is matched correctly with its description?

transduction-virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another

conjugation-involves splitting of one cell and results in two identical cells

binary fission-requires direct cell-to-cell contact of bacteria

transformation-uses a pilus to transmit genetic information between bacteria

The answer is transduction-virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another.

Transduction is a process in which virus transfers genes between bacteria. It does not require physical contact between two cells.

Conjugation is a process of transferring genetic material between bacterial cells in direct contact with each other.

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in which cell after it doubles its size, simply separate into two new cells.

Transformation is change in a genetic material due to incorporation of exogenous genetic material.
