Conjugation does not differ from reproduction as it one of the ways of sexual production. This is where the male and female gametes combine for purposes of 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?
No, transformation, transduction, and conjugation are not examples of asexual reproduction. They are mechanisms of genetic exchange between bacterial cells. Asexual reproduction involves producing offspring without the involvement of gametes or genetic recombination.
Sexual reproduction in bacteria occurs through a process called conjugation. During conjugation, genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells through a conjugation bridge, allowing for genetic variation and diversity.
The act of two bacteria joining and exchanging DNA is called bacterial conjugation. During conjugation, a donor bacterium transfers genetic material to a recipient bacterium through a structure called a pilus. This process allows for the exchange of beneficial traits such as antibiotic resistance.
Conjugation is a primitive form of sexual reproduction in bacteria where genetic material is transferred between two cells through a bridge-like structure called pilus. This allows for genetic diversity and the exchange of beneficial traits between bacterial cells.

conjugation...
for animals the typical reproduction is sexual- probably conjugation
Sexual by conjugation or fertilization.
Conjugation is a type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction. In conjugation, genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells through direct physical contact. This allows for genetic diversity and the exchange of beneficial traits between bacteria.

A. Respiration B. Producing energy C. Sexual reproduction D. Sexual reproduction The answer is C. Sexual reproduction
Binary Fission and Conjugation are two common forms of bacterial reproduction.
