Which of the following is untrue about Lateral gene transfer?

Which of the following is untrue about Lateral gene transfer? Correct Answer It is also known as vertical gene transfer

It is defined as the exchange of genetic materials between species in a way that is incongruent with commonly accepted vertical evolutionary pathway. Examples are transformation (direct uptake of foreign DNA from environment), conjugation (gene uptake through mating behavior), and transduction (gene uptake mediated by infecting viruses). The transmission of genes between organisms can occur relatively recently or as a more ancient event.
