1. Transduction is when new genes are introduced to bacteria by a virus. This happens when a virus attacks a cell, and after lysing the cell, the virus takes some of the DNA of that bacteria with it and when it attacks a new cell, those genes are introduced to the new cell. This changes the genes of the cell, and increases diversity.
2.Transformation happens when bacteria absorb genes from the environment around them. When a bacteria cell is dead and broken down, another living bacteria cell may be able to absorb the DNA of the dead cell into their own DNA, which alters its genetic information and causes more diversity.
