Over time, those harmless bacterial cells will eventually become harmful because of transformation. So basically what happens is our harmless bacterial cell takes up genetic information, our fragments of DNA that came from the harmful bacterial cell, and takes them and brings them into the cell and then incorporates that into its own DNA. And then when that DNA is transcribed, when we transcribe this section, we build proteins that basically end up harming some type of eukaryotic cell. So this is an example of the process of transformation. So basically, ultimately, the end result is a slightly more genetically diverse DNA molecule, slightly more diverse bacterial cell. Now let's discuss the final type of genetic recombination process known as transduction.
