It adds to genetic variability. Swapping DNA helps the new organisms to be genetically different from the parents. If there is a biological disaster that threatens a population of Paramecia some of them may survive since they are not all genetically alike.

The term conjugation means coming together. Paramecium do it to exchange genetic material.

What is importance of bacterial conjugation?

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 difference between the conjugation that occurs between paramecia and the conjugation that occurs between bacteria?

this Q was awnsered by someone else already and this is what it put and im 90% sure its right- In paaramecia, two individuals of different mating types come together and form a cytoplasmic bridge between them. This is followed by a complex set of divisions and i that ultimately results in an exchange in genetic material between the conjugants analogous to the sexual reproduction seen in multicellular organisms. In bacteria, a structure called the sex pilus "joins" the two organisms and allows for an exchange of genetic information.
