What are needed for bacterial conjugation pili or flagella?
Pili. Flagella provide the mechanism of motility but does not attach to other bacterias.
The transfer of genes during bacterial conjugation involves rigid tubular appendages called what?
They are called sex pili.
What are the filaments called that help some bacteria stick to surfaced and exchange plasmids through conjugation?
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
What is the genetic exchange through pili termed?
bacterial conjugation. you're welcome.
What is a function of the pili found on the surface of some bacteria?
There are two types of pili found on some bacteria. Sex pili are used by bacteria to transfer plasmids during conjugation. Common pili (fimbrae) are used to stick to surfaces.
What allows the bacteria to join together to transfer genes?
pili or pilus is what allows for conjugation between bacteria i.e. genetic transfer.
What are bacterial pili?
Pili are tiny, hollow projections that are used in attachment to surfaces. They have nothing to do with motility. There are two types 1.) long conjugation pili, that aide in transfer of genetic material. 2.)Attachmetn pili or fimbriae, that help bacteria adhere to surfaces. Hope that helps!!!
What are the filaments called that help some bacteria stick to surfaces an exchange through conjugation?
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
What are the filaments that help some bacteria stick to surfaces and exchange plasmids through conjugation?
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
What are filaments called that help some bacteria stick to surface and exchange plasmids through conjugation?
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
A type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes in which a cell receives DNA from another cell through sex pili is?
Conjugation
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..
