Answer:

The correct answer is- Transduction

Explanation:

There are three processes by which genetic material of one bacteria can pass to the other bacteria and these processes are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.

In transduction bacteriophage( virus that infects bacteria) is responsible for the transfer of genetic material of one bacteria to another bacteria. When a virus infects one bacteria its genetic material divides with the bacterial DNA and sometime during making new phage particles part of bacteria DNA gets packed in viral capsid.

When that virus infects another bacteria the genetic material of other bacteria gets incorporated in its host genome and this process is called transduction.

Answer:

If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children

Explanation:

Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.
