Which of the following is NOT a step in the mechanism by which transduction increases the genetic diversity of bacteria?

		A phage contains both viral and bacterial DNA sequences
		A pilus connects a virus to a bacterium
		A phage injects DNA through a bacterium's cell wall and plasma membrane
		DNA recombination takes place in the recipient cell

Solutions

Expert Solution

Option (2) A pilus connects a virus to a bacterium

Pilus has no role in increasing genetic diversity by transduction in bacteria. Pilus plays a significant role in bacteria conjugation and Pathogenicity .
