A bacteriophage ("eater of bacteria") inject their DNA (or RNA) into the cell.
T4 bacteriophage is a DNA virus. It infects bacteria by injecting its DNA into the host cell and hijacking the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material.
We can insert about 5-25 kb sized foreign DNA in a lambda bacteriophage vector.
Bacteriophage T4 virus
Hershey and Chase's experiment used bacteriophage T2, which consists of protein and DNA molecules. They were able to show that only the DNA component of the bacteriophage was responsible for carrying genetic information into the host bacterial cell during infection.
The scientists Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted a series of experiments at the Carnegie Institute of Washington in 1952, and concluded that the genetic material of a bacteriophage was DNA.
When bacteriophage DNA becomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome, it is known as lysogeny. The integrated phage DNA is called a prophage. During lysogeny, the bacteriophage DNA remains dormant, replicating along with the bacterial chromosome. Under certain conditions, such as stress, the prophage can become activated and enter the lytic cycle, leading to viral replication and cell lysis.

Transduction is the type of sexual exchange among bacteria in which DNA is carried into a bacterial cell by means of a bacteriophage virus. The bacteriophage acts as a carrier of genetic material, facilitating the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another during the infection process.
