Answer: False.
Step-by-step explanation:
Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus. Transduction does not require physical contact between the cell donating the DNA and the cell receiving the DNA.
When a virus infects a bacterium, called bacteriophague, what happens is that the newly introduced DNA makes use of the replication, transcription and translation machinery of the host bacterial cell to produce numerous viruses.
