![**Question:**
Which of the following uses a virus to transfer DNA between two different cells?
- ◯ Conjugation
- ◯ Transduction
- ◯ Transposition
- ◯ Transformation
**Explanation:**
This multiple-choice question is exploring the concept of genetic exchange mechanisms in microbiology.
- **Conjugation** involves the transfer of DNA between two bacterial cells through direct contact, typically via a pilus.
- **Transduction** is the process by which a virus, specifically a bacteriophage, transfers DNA from one bacterium to another, facilitating genetic exchange.
- **Transposition** refers to the movement of DNA sequences, known as transposons, within and between DNA molecules inside a cell.
- **Transformation** involves the uptake of free DNA fragments from the environment by a bacterial cell.
In this question, the correct answer is **Transduction**, as it directly involves the use of a virus for DNA transfer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7acf8df9-fe38-4158-9357-effa871da50d%2F6e8b9b5d-f927-4495-a90e-e548e699534f%2Ftas67ia_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
