List three methods that can modify bacteria genetically?

1. Transduction is the process by which bacterial DNA is moved from one bacterium to another by a virus.





2. Transformation - genetic change brought about by picking up naked strands of DNA and expressing it, and competence refers to the state of being able to take up DNA.





3. Conjugation (Bacterial) - is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through cell-to-cell contact.
