In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer occurs through conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following events can result in inheritable genetic variations in organisms
Svetlanka [38]

The right answer is B.

The answer B is the only proposition which specified at which stage the event must occur, in fact, the meiosis.

Meiosis is a characteristic division of reproductive cells that can generate gametes to form new species (desendence). So if a mutation occurs at this time (such as recombinations) it will inevitably be inherited.
