What is conjuguation?
The exchange of genetic material from bacteria to bacteria through sexual reproduction.
What is the term for the exchange of genetic material between bacteria via contact between individuals?
the word is conjugation
Do bacteria genetic material change?
Bacteria cells have their own genetic material.
Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
What is a plasmid exchange?
Plasmid Exchange is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell to cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells.
What is conjuguation?

Bateria exchange genetic material?
Bacteria exchange genetic material, in the form of plasmids, through conjugation. Conjugation is achieved when a pili from once cell attaches to the cell wall of another cell..
What is the term for the exchange of genetic material between bacteria via contact between individuals?
the word is conjugation
Where is the genetic material in bacteria cell?
The genetic material in a bacteria cell is found in the cytoplasm.
What are two bacteria's that exchange genetic material?
Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
What does bacteria do in the process of conjugation?
Bacteria exchange genetic material during the process of conjugation to ensure the rise of another offspring which is genetically different.
Do bacteria genetic material change?
Bacteria cells have their own genetic material.
Do bacteria have genetic material?
yes, it have
Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
What type of genetic material do bacteria have?
The genetic material of a bacterium is found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
What is a plasmid exchange?
Plasmid Exchange is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell to cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells.
What genetic material is found in bacteria?
DNA
