Two mechanisms that affect the genetic diveristy of bacterial population

Horizontal gene transfer involves several mechanisms that can increase the genetic diversity of bacterial populations.

One of these mechanisms is bacterial conjugation in which a donor cell transfers genetic material to a recipient cell through a pili which function as a conduit.

Another mechanism of variability is through bacteriophages where genetic material is moved from one bacterium to another, this method is called transduction.

c is the answer. hope this
