It is called Transduction.
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.
This transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another is known as bacterial conjugation. It involves the transfer of plasmids or other mobile genetic elements between bacteria. This can result in increased genetic diversity and potentially introduce new genes, such as antibiotic resistance genes, into the recipient bacterium.
Transduction is the process by which a cell converts environmental signals into electrical or chemical signals that can be interpreted by the cell. It is a key mechanism in cell signaling pathways that allow cells to respond to their external environment.
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Pili are needed for bacterial conjugation, as they are involved in the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another. Flagella, on the other hand, are involved in bacterial motility and help the bacterium move.

Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)
It is called Transduction.
Transduction involves the transfer of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another using a bacteriophage as a vector, whereas normal bacteriophage infection results in the lysis of the host bacterium after replication. Transduction is a form of horizontal gene transfer that can transfer genetic material such as antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria, while normal bacteriophage infection primarily involves viral replication and host cell lysis.

This question does not make sense. Please clarify. Thank you, Ratri~

Restricted transduction is the phenomenon in which a bacteriophage can only transfer genetic material to certain host cells due to specific receptor recognition. This limits the range of host cells that can be infected by the phage, providing a mechanism for bacterial resistance to phage infection.
