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. But before we get into transduction, let's recall what a bacteriophage is. A bacteriophage is a type of virus that only infects bacterial cells and it hijacks the machinery of the bacterial cells and it uses the cells to build its own viral genetic information. Now, sometimes these bacteriophages accidentally take up a fragment of DNA of that bacterial cell instead of using its own viral genetic information.
