∙ 13y agoThe process through which bacteria take in DNA from the environment is called transformation. This allows bacteria to acquire new genetic material, which can lead to genetic diversity and potentially the development of new traits.

The process by which a bacterial cell takes up naked DNA from its environment is called transformation. During transformation, the bacterial cell incorporates the foreign DNA into its own genome, acquiring new genetic traits in the process. This ability to take up exogenous DNA is a key mechanism for horizontal gene transfer among bacterial populations.
Bacterial structures involved in DNA passage include pili, which can facilitate DNA transfer between bacteria through conjugation, and plasmids which are small, circular DNA molecules that can be passed between bacteria. Additionally, some bacteria can take up DNA from their environment through a process known as transformation.

Transformation
The process in which a bacterial cell takes in DNA released by a different bacterial cell is called transformation. During transformation, the recipient cell takes up free-floating DNA from the environment and incorporates it into its genome, allowing it to acquire new traits.
Transformation
The process is called transformation. In transformation, bacteria take up free DNA from their environment. The DNA can be integrated into the bacterial cell's genome and can lead to genetic diversity within the bacterial population.
