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.
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 plasmids are and how they are used to get bacteria to synthesize a new protein that they normally do not synthesize?
Plasmids are circles of DNA. These have genes that can be transferred from one bacteria that has it to another. These genes can code for a protein that one cell normally doesn't code for. This done by a process called bacterial conjugation.
How can bacterial populations develop drug resistance and share that resistance with other bacteria?
resistance mechanisms often carried by plasmids can be easily transmitted in bacterial populations by conjugation
What happens during conjugation in Spirogyra?
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.
How does bacteria exchange genetic information?
on plasmids in a process called 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 the things called that help some bacteria stick to surfaces and exchange plasmids through conjugation?
Pillus (plural form is pilli), usually Type IV pilli, are used in conjugation to transfer plasmids from one bacteria to another. Other pilli are used for adhesive purposes like you said.

Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through 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..

What do protists exchange during conjugation?
Genetic Material (DNA).
Do bacteria cell have single or multiple chromosomes of dna?
Prokaryotes contain a single circular chromosome. Some also carry smaller plasmids that are also round and contain few genes, transferred from bacterium to bacterium by conjugation.
