Why does a gene fit into the opening in the plasmid?
When genes transfer the tra gene nicks the DNA at its origin of transfer creating a pilus so the chromosome (which contains the gene) can transfer to the other DNA.
During conjugation which what structures does a bacteria form that is used to transfer DNA?
conjugation occurs between two bacterial cells and transfers DNA in the form of plasmids. this is one way to transfer of genetic material - it is not sexual reproduction, The other two ways to transfer genetic material between bacteria are transformation and transduction. In order to be able to perform coagulation (transfer of a plasmid) the bacteria must have an F factor (DNA that codes for the PILI protein, which allows the bacteria to create a bridge through which the bacteria inject the plasmid to another bacteria). Bacteria with F factor is called F+, and without it is called F-. F+ can transfer the plasmid to an F- bacteria.
During which process does one bacterium inject its DNA into another bacterium through thin tube called a pilus?
Transduction
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.
What is it called when a bacteria uses a virus to transfer its DNA to another bacterium?

it is called a sex pilus

When plasmids are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called?
When plasmids, are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called a
Transfer of DNA into cells is called what?
Transcription
What is elongated hollow appendage used for DNA transfer to other bacterial cells?
Bacteria with the F plasmid (free or integrated) make pili (singular pilus, sometimes referred to as the sex pilus) to connect with bacteria that do not have the F plasmid to initiate DNA transfer. However, the pili are actually used as a harpoon to reel in the other bacteria so that physical contact between the membranes of the bacteria could be made. DNA is only transferred after the fusion of the cell membranes. It is also a common misconception to think that bacterial conjugation is like 'sex' since it does not involve recombination of genes or cycles of haploidy and diploidy.
