Which of the Following Processes Increases Variation Seen in Bacteria

Question

Which of the following processes increases variation seen in bacteria
A)Transformation
B)Conjugation
C)Transduction
D)All of these

Accepted Answer

All three processes (transformation, conjugation, and transduction) involve the transfer of genetic material between bacteria, which can increase genetic variation within a population. Transformation involves the uptake of DNA from the environment, conjugation involves the transfer of plasmids between bacteria through direct contact, and transduction involves the transfer of genetic material via a virus.
