Question

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria mentioned in the document?
Options
A Conjugation
B Meiosis
Correct Answer
C Transformation
D Transduction
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 17 lists 'conjugation (direct cell contact), transformation (uptake of free DNA), or transduction (via bacteriophage viruses)' as methods for horizontal gene transfer. Meiosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotes, not a gene transfer mechanism for bacteria.

Hint

Review the bullet point on 'Horizontal Gene Transfer' to identify the listed mechanisms.
