a form of sexual reproduction. Spirogyra and its relatives can be found during summer as pond scum, floating mats in ponds.Two filaments of Spirogyra form conjugation tubes. The contents of one cell passes through the tube an fuses with a cell from the other filament.
there is no gametes. that is why it cannot be considered sexual reproduction

Bacteria take DNA from their environment.Bacteria inject DNA into another cell
pili or pilus is what allows for conjugation between bacteria i.e. genetic transfer.
Spirogyra are decomposers which breakdown dead organic matter. This is green algae which used conjugation as the method of reproduction.

Spirogyra are isogametes as the two participating gametes are similar in size and morphology.
By conjugation
The bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar.
Bacteria take DNA from their environment.Bacteria inject DNA into another cell

When two spirogyras lie side by side and they connect, and then genes mix. This forms another spirogyra.
pili or pilus is what allows for conjugation between bacteria i.e. genetic transfer.
Bacteria exchange genetic material during the process of conjugation to ensure the rise of another offspring which is genetically different.
