In bacteria genes may be transferred through a pilus which acts like a bridge in a process called?

Conjugation - its when genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells that are temporarily joined. The transfer is also one-way.

What is Conjugation bacteria?

Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or a bridge-like link between two cells. In bacteria, it is a parasexual way of reproduction. It's a horizontal gene transfer process, like transformation and transduction, but it doesn't entail cell-to-cell communication.


What is the intentional alteration or transfer of genetic material called?

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.
