Which mode of genetic recombination is matched correctly with its description? transduction—virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another conjugation—involves splitting of one cell and results in two identical cells binary fission—requires direct cell-to-cell contact of bacteria transformation—uses a pilus to transmit genetic information between bacteria

transduction—virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another

Explanation:

Transduction is a mechanism of recombination where DNA fragments are inserted into bacteria by a viral vector. The mechanism of transduction is commonly used by molecular biology laboratories to insert gene fragments into both bacterial and mammalian cells.  

Conjugation is the genetic mechanism in which bacteria transfer genetic information among them by direct contact.

Binary fission is the most common type of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In binary fission, the DNA molecule is replicated and, subsequently, the bacterial cell is divided into two daughter cells with identical genetic material.

Finally, the transformation is the mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in which one bacterium takes up genetic information into the surrounding environment and incorporates it into its genome.
