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.

∙ 9y agoTwo bacteria that exchange genetic material are called bacterial conjugates. The recipient is the one who usually benefits from this type of genetic exchange.

What is exchanged when two paramecium conjugate?
They exchange genetic material using their micronuclei.
Why is conjugation a type of sexual reproduction?
Conjugate is a generic term for two things joining together for a purpose. In biology conjugation occurs when two bacteria or cells come together temporarily to exchange genetic material. The word is also used in chemistry to indicate two materials being combined so that the newly created combined material is easier to identify or isolate. With animals and people, it also means joining together to exchange genetic material, which is another was to say sexual reproduction.
What is exchanged when two parmecia conjugate?
During conjugation two Paramecium join together and exchange genetic material using their micro nuclei
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 genetic material in two daughter cells similar to the genetic material in the original parent cells?
Your a hoe
What is the process in which two Paramecia come together after meiosis to exchange parts of their genetic material called?
Conjugation. Good luck to anyone in Mr. Goode's class.
How is the genetic material in two daughter cells similar to the genetic material in the parent cell?
It depends if the daughter cells were produced as a result of fertilization or cloned. If fertilized the genetic material isn't same but if cloned the genetic material is 100% same.
What is swapping of genetic material between homologous chromosomes?
Swapping of genetic genetic material is when two chromosomes (maternal and paternal) with the same gene sequence exchange genes, this occurs during Phrophase 1 of meiosis by a process called crossing over. Hope this helps.
Which are the two organelles having their own genetic material. What is their significance?
Nucleus & Mitochondria are the two organelles having their own genetic material.

Picture of a bacteria that reproduce by binaryfission division?
No this is asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction requires the exchange of genetic material between two like individuals.
What are two types of genetic material?
DNA and RNA..
