The correct answers are:
(1) The bacteriophage takes fragments of the cell with it during transduction
(2) The bacteriophage does not erupt from an infected cell during transduction.
(3) Transduction transfers DNA from the chromosome of one cell to another.


Transduction is the process wherein a bacteriophage (a virus) injects foreign DNA to be incorporated in the bacterial genetic material. Usually the most common differentiating feature between bacteriophage infection and transduction is that infection is usually destructive and lytic as the bacteriophage uses the bacteria for its own self-replication then it will erupt from the bacteria.
