Transformation
In paramecia, conjugation is a reproductive process that allows for the recombination of genetic information by the exchange of genetic material between two individuals. In bacteria, transformation is a process where bacteria can take up and incorporate foreign DNA from the environment into their own genome, facilitating genetic recombination.
For the purposes of molecular biology: Transformation is the process of bacterial cells taking up naked DNA molecules and incorporating the genetic information. No actual cell-to-cell contact occurs.
Transformation
The process is called transformation. In transformation, bacteria take up free DNA from their environment. The DNA can be integrated into the bacterial cell's genome and can lead to genetic diversity within the bacterial population.
Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)
