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.

When scientist transfer genes from one organism to the other it is called?

Horizontal and vertical gene transfers are the terms to account for the transfer of genes between organisms. Horizontal (HGT) or (LGT) transfer happens when non-traditional reproduction effectuates the transfer whereas vertical transfer (VGT) occurs when asexual or sexual reproduction effectuates the genetic movement from parents to offspring.
