False. Smell is a sense that does undergo transduction, as it involves the conversion of chemical signals (odors) into electrical signals that the brain can interpret.

The sense that does not undergo transduction is the sense of touch, as it involves the direct detection of mechanical pressure and vibration by sensory receptors in the skin.
