Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed processes (mutation, conjugation, transduction, and transformation) can bring about genetic change in bacteria. Mutation is a spontaneous change in the genetic sequence, while conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material through direct contact of bacterial cells. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material through a viral vector, and transformation is the uptake of genetic material from the environment.
