What process is involved in the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another?

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Insulin production

  3. Transcription

  4. Transformation

The correct answer is: Transformation

Transformation is the process of transferring genetic material from one organism to another. This is done through the uptake of foreign DNA by a recipient cell, resulting in a genetic change. Photosynthesis (A), insulin production (B), and transcription (C) are all processes that do not involve the transfer of genetic material between organisms.
