This is bacterial reproduction in the form of conjugation.
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes where a single cell divides into two identical cells. Conjugation is a process by which genetic material is transferred between two prokaryotic cells through a pilus, allowing for genetic variation but not cell division.
Genetic material is transferred from one generation to the next through the process of reproduction. During sexual reproduction, offspring receive a combination of genetic material from both parents through the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg). This ensures genetic diversity and variation in each new generation.
This transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another is known as bacterial conjugation. It involves the transfer of plasmids or other mobile genetic elements between bacteria. This can result in increased genetic diversity and potentially introduce new genes, such as antibiotic resistance genes, into the recipient bacterium.
In bacteria, genes may be transferred through a pilus in a process called conjugation. Conjugation allows for the transfer of genetic material, such as plasmids, between bacterial cells. This transfer of genes can contribute to genetic diversity and the acquisition of new traits in bacterial populations.
Prokaryotic cells divide through a process called binary fission. During this process, the cell duplicates its genetic material and membrane, then divides into two daughter cells. This type of cell division is simple, efficient, and rapid.

Organisms like bacteria and certain single-celled organisms reproduce through a process called fission. In fission, the parent organism divides into two or more daughter organisms, each receiving a copy of the genetic material from the parent.
Conjugation is a bacterial process that allows both chromosomal and non-chromosomal DNA to be transferred between cells. During conjugation, genetic material is exchanged through direct cell-to-cell contact facilitated by a structure called a pilus. This transfer of DNA can contribute to genetic diversity and adaptation within bacterial populations.
Bacteria can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction includes binary fission, where a bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Sexual reproduction in bacteria involves genetic recombination through a process called conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between bacterial cells.

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.
aka, nuclear division- MITOSIS binary fission
Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity through recombination of genetic material from two parents, increasing adaptation to changing environments. This diversity can lead to increased offspring fitness and survival compared to genetically identical offspring produced through asexual reproduction by fission.
Bacteria divide into two identical daughter cells through binary fission. This process involves the replication of the genetic material and then the division of the cell into two new cells, each containing a copy of the genetic material.
