Soil bacteria are incredibly resistant to multiple antibiotics,presumably as a response to competition from bacteria that produce antibiotics. What are three ways that these antibiotic resistant genes could move from soil bacteria species to other species of bacteria? Briefly describe each gene transfer process.Name one or more factors that would affect the likelihood of this transfer occurring.
