Question

which of the following methods is not a method used by bacteria to recombine their dna to increase genetic diversity?
sexual recombination
transformation
transduction
conjugation

Explanation:

Bacteria use transformation (uptake of free - floating DNA from the environment), transduction (transfer of DNA by viruses), and conjugation (direct cell - to - cell transfer of DNA) to recombine their DNA. Sexual recombination is a process mainly associated with eukaryotes, not a common method for bacteria to recombine DNA for genetic diversity.

Answer:

A. Sexual Recombination
