The transfer of genetic information is called conjugation. It involves transfer of genetic information from one bacterial cell to another, and requires physical contact between the two bacteria involved.

What occurs when a bacterium transfers some of its genetic material to another bacterium?
The answer is TransformationTransformation- transfer of genetic material
Is mutant bacteria and transgenic bacteria same?
Transgenic: This kind of bacteria is formed by transfer of genetic material from another bacteria. The transfer may be natural or by genetic techniques. Mutant: This kind of bacteria is also a modified one at genetic level, but not due to transfer of genetic material from other bacteria or organism, but due to genetic changes in the organism itself. This changes may be due to UV rays or ionising radiations, or other mutantion stimulating agents (mutagens)
What is the genetic alteration of a cell's genome by the introduction of foreign DNA?
Transformation
Are all species evolution?
All species are evolved. Some species ( bacteria, for instance ) have a horizontal transfer of genetic material along with simple cell division. Most other organisms, sexual reproducers, have a vertical transmission of genetic material.
What type of material is exchanged during crossing over?
genetic material
The intentional alteration or transfer of genetic material is called?
That's genetic engineering.
What is the alteration of genetic material at the cellular level is?
mutation
Change in genetic material of an organism from one genrartion to another?
When mutations happen, they cause the alteration of genetic material.
What is Genetic material of cell?
The genetic material of the cell is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) and TRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid).
What occurs when a bacterium transfers some of its genetic material to another bacterium?
The answer is TransformationTransformation- transfer of genetic material
Prokaryotes can transfer pieces of genetic material in a process called?
Conjugation
What is the difference between conjugation and sexduction?
conjugation is the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another by formation of a conjugation tube. Sexduction is the transfer of genetic material between an F+ and F- cell by formation of sex pili.
What is inserting specific genetic material into the genetic material of another organism called?
Gene transfer, this type of process is mostly covered in the topic of genetic engineering
What does genetic engineering mean in biology?
Scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism. It involves the production and use of recombinant DNA and has been employed to create bacteria that synthesize insulin and other human proteins.
What is a gene transfer?
Gene transfer is a naturally occurring phenomena wherein there is a transfer of genetic material from the donor to the recipient. Conjugation would be an example
Genetic equilibrium is the alteration of allelic frequencies by chance processes?
genetic drift
Is mutant bacteria and transgenic bacteria same?
Transgenic: This kind of bacteria is formed by transfer of genetic material from another bacteria. The transfer may be natural or by genetic techniques. Mutant: This kind of bacteria is also a modified one at genetic level, but not due to transfer of genetic material from other bacteria or organism, but due to genetic changes in the organism itself.
