Bacterial conjugation is sexual reproduction, when the two cells interchange nuclei and separate then divide several times. If you observe some ciliates such as paramecia under the microscope you might notice the process of conjugation by the Transverse fission of the cell.

What is the importance of conjugation in a paramecium?
conjugation imparts rejuvenation, nuclear reorganisation and hereditary variation.
What is the genetic exchange through pili termed?
bacterial conjugation. you're welcome.
The type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction is called?
conjugation
Exchange of genetic information that occurs from one bacterium to another through a hollow bridge?
The three forms of bacterial DNA exchange are (1) TRANSFORMATION, (2) CONJUGATION and (3) TRANSDUCTION.
Do viruses undergo conjugation?
No. Conjugation applies to bacterial "sex" where a sex pilus is involved in the exchange of genetic material. A virus relies upon a hosts'genetic material for reproduction.
What process does bacterial cell reproduce?
conjugation
The act of two bacteria joining and exchanging DNA?
It is called bacterial conjugation, this is not sexual reproduction, since no exchange of gamete occurs.
Does bacterial conjugation use cellular energy?
yes
Is genetic material is transferred through a pilus in binary fission?
This is bacterial reproduction in the form of conjugation.
When two bacterial cells temporarily join and directly transfer genetic material this is called?
Bacterial conjugation.
What is the importance of conjugation in a paramecium?
conjugation imparts rejuvenation, nuclear reorganisation and hereditary variation.

bacterial conjugation. you're welcome.
The type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction is called?
conjugation
What procces brings about an exchang of genetic information between bacterial cells?
This is the process of conjugation.
One bacterial cell passes DNA to a second cell in the process of?
transduction
