Conjugation is a mechanisms used by bacteria to move genes between cells by exchanging a circular extrachromosomal DNA with each other. Transduction is when viruses that infect bacteria accidentally take some bacterial genes with them into a new cell that htey infect (kinda like STDs). Transformation is when a bacteria gets DNA from its environment.

What are the similarities between transformation and viral transduction?
Both transformation and viral transduction change the genetic material of the cell. They both also involve removing some or all of the DNA from the cell.
Describe the three ways that bacteria can gain genetic diversity?
There are three main forms of horizontal transmission used to spread genes between members of the same or different species: conjugation (bacteria-to-bacteria transfer), transduction (viral-mediated transfer), and transformation (free DNA transfer).
Difference between 3D transformation and 2D transformation?
difference between 2d and 3d transformation matrix
Is transformation transduction and conjugation all examples of asexual reproduction?
No only one cell can be asexual not two and if it was it wouldn't be a transformational transduction and a transformational conjugation.

What is the process in which a bacterial cell takes in DNA released by a different bacterial cell called?
== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its DNA another bacterium?
Transduction
What is the difference between Jordan wigner transformation and holstein primikoff transformation?
Jordan wigner transformation is used to map the spin to Boson while holstein primikoff transformation to Fermion
What is the difference between rigid transformation and a size transformation?
A rigid transformation is when a shape is moved with no changes to its shape whereas a size transformation is when a shape is moved with its shape becoming smaller or larger.
What has the author Maurice B Hallett written?
Maurice B. Hallett has written: 'The Neutrophil' 'The molecular and ionic signalling of neutrophils' -- subject(s): Neutrophils, Lymphocyte transformation, Signal Transduction, Cellular signal transduction, Physiology
Three mechanisms bacteria can produce genetic variation?
Genetic engineering involves the use of recombinant DNA technology, the process by which a DNA sequence is manipulated in vitro, thus creating recombinant DNA molecules that have new combinations of genetic material
What is the difference between natural and artificial transformation?
natural transformation occur in the cell naturally......butartificial transformation ocuur inthe cell to addsome chemical and physical agents
