What occurs when a bacterium transfers some of its genetic material to another bacterium?
The answer is TransformationTransformation- transfer of genetic material
In bacteria genes may be transferred through a pilus which acts like a bridge in a process called?
Conjugation - its when genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells that are temporarily joined. The transfer is also one-way.
How does most bacteria reproduce?
*** they do, through a process called conjugation. which is where bacteria join and share and exchange genetic materials. once the genetic materials are exchanged, each baterial cell will go through binary fission to produce an offspring with a new genetic makeup.
Is it possible for a bacterium to receive a new trait that it did not previously have without going through conjugation?
Due to bacterial transformation, bacteria may pick up genetic material present in the environment and incorporate this genetic material within a plasmid. The bacteria is able to make use of this genetic material, transcribe, translate and make what ever protein that is coded for
What process do prokaryotes exchange genetic information?
Prokaryotes have additional ways to evolve their genomes besides relying on relatively infrequent mutations. Through genetic recombination, individual prokaryotic cells can share DNA with other individual cells, not necessarily belonging to the same species.They can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.In conjugation, plasmid DNA is transferred from cell to cell using something called a sex pilus. In transformation cells pick up DNA from their environment. Lastly, transduction is the transfer of genetic material from one cell to another using a virus.

How are genes transferred from one organism to another?
Through genetic engineering, A small piece of DNA- a gene is taken from one organism and transferred to the geneteic material of a completely different organism. Genes from the chromosomes are cut out using enzymes and transferred to the cell of abacterium.
A material through which energy can be transferred as heat?
Metal

How does streptococcus pneumonia?
S. pneumoniae reproduces through a mechanism known as binary fission. It involves the cell copying it's genetic material then splitting in two by a ring of proteins called the FTsZ ring.
What is energy transferred as heat through a material?
Conductive heat.
What is the difference between binary fission and conjunction?
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single organism divides into two equal-sized daughter cells. It is commonly observed in bacteria and protists. On the other hand, conjugation is a mechanism of sexual reproduction in certain microorganisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, wherein genetic material is exchanged between two compatible individuals through a temporary bridge called a conjugation tube. This exchange of genetic material increases genetic diversity in the population.
Paramecium can exchange genetic material through this process?
conjugation

How does typhus attack?
Typhoid fever is transmitted through fecal material. This usually occurs when fecal material is transferred orally through food or water.
What helps control the fission reaction in a nuclear plant?
The fission reaction is controlled through use of high neutron capture material as Boron, Gadolinium, Cadmium, ... etc.
Some types of organisms can increase genetic variation through reproduction they are ablr to combine the genetic material of two parents tather than copying the genetic material of a single parent?
both plants and animals
