Conjugate is a generic term for two things joining together for a purpose.
In Biology conjugation occurs when two bacteria or cells come together temporarily to exchange genetic material. The word is also used in chemistry to indicate two materials being combined so that the newly created combined material is easier to identify or isolate.
With animals and people, it also means joining together to exchange genetic material, which is another was to say sexual reproduction.

Why is conjugation considered a form of sexual reproduction?
I am studying Microbiology in school currently. According to my understanding, conjugation is not a form sexual reproduction, instead, it is asexual reproduction. Reason being, conjugation only involves transfer of genetic information which is the same as sexual reproduction which involves the fusion of garmetes (sex cells)/equal exchange of genetic material. Hope my answer is helpful. But now, I have a question. Why is conjugation considered a form reproduction when it does not even produce a new offspring?
