Final answer:
Transduction is a type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes where bacterial DNA is transferred from a bacteriophage to a cell.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes, in which a cell receives bacterial DNA from a bacteriophage, is called transduction. In transduction, a bacteriophage injects DNA into the cell that contains a small fragment of DNA from a different prokaryote.
