Which type of genetic exchange occurs among bacteria in which dna is carried into a bacterial cell by means of a virus?

Transduction

Explanation:

Among the three types of gene transfer in bacteria, transduction does not require physical contact between the two bacteria cell. Viruses that infect bacteria accidentally move pieces of chromosomal DNA from one bacterium to another. These viruses that infects bacteria are called bacteriophages.

Simply put, transduction is a process of genetic recombination in bacteria which involves the incorporation of the genes of a host cell (bacterium) into the genome of a viral cell (bacteriophage) and then conveyed to another host cell when the bacteriophage infects it. The process of transduction is of two types; generalized and specific depending on whether any gene or specific gene is transduced respectively.

The aim of these viruses when they infect bacteria cell is to harness the ability of bacteria to replicate, transcribe and translate their genetic material and use it to procreate into many virons or complete their viral particle.
