Explain the mechanism for three ways that DNA can be transferred from one prokaryotic cell to another​

There are three mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer typically used by bacteria: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation allows for competent cells to take up naked DNA, released from other cells on their death, into their cytoplasm, where it may recombine with the host genome.

Conjugation: Transfer of DNA through direct contact using a conjugation pilus

Transduction: Mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria in which genes are t...

The majority of examples of horizontal gene transfer are known in prokaryotes. In bacteria, three principal mechanisms can mediate horizontal gene transfer: transformation (uptake of free DNA), conjugation (plasmid-mediated transfer), and transduction (phage-mediated transfer).

There are three mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria: transformation, transduction, and conjugation.

Hope this helps mark me as brainiest please please

Ithink the answer is a and c.
