Hi mate
Good morning
Here's your answer ✌️
the term bacterial transduction is
Transduction, a process of genetic recombination in bacteria in which genes from a host cell (a bacterium) are incorporated into the genome of a bacterial virus (bacteriophage) and then carried to another host cell when the bacteriophage initiates another cycle of infection.

Answer:
Transduction.
Transduction occurs when foreign DNA or RNA is introduced into bacterial or eukaryotic cells via a virus or viral vector.
One example are bacteriophages that attach to bacterial membranes and inject their genetic material into the cell. Once inside, phages can follow one of two different life cycles: lytic or lysogenic. Lytic phages hijack the bacterial hosts machinery to make more viral particles. Eventually the cell lyses releasing the newly formed viral particles that can infect other bacteria. In the lysogenic cycle, the phage’s genetic material is incorporated into the host’s genome at a particular integration site. The integrated phage remains dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle.
During both of these life cycles bacterial DNA can be accidentally packaged into the newly created phages.
