Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resistance factor plids (also known as R plasmids) can be transferred from one bacterial cell to another through three processes: transformation (uptake of free DNA from the environment), transduction (transfer of DNA through a bacteriophage), and conjugation (direct transfer of plasmids through pilus connection between two bacterial cells).
