Prokaryotes have additional ways to evolve their genomes besides relying on relatively infrequent mutations. Through genetic recombination, individual prokaryotic cells can share DNA with other individual cells, not necessarily belonging to the same species.
They can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.In conjugation, plasmid DNA is transferred from cell to cell using something called a sex pilus. In transformation cells pick up DNA from their environment. Lastly, transduction is the transfer of genetic material from one cell to another using a virus.

Chromosomes exchange genetic information through the process of what?
Chromosomes exchange genetic information during a process called crossing over. This occurs during meiosis
What does bacteria do in the process of conjugation?
Bacteria exchange genetic material during the process of conjugation to ensure the rise of another offspring which is genetically different.
Protein synthesis in eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
Protein synthesis occurs in cellular structures called ribosomes , found out-side the nucleus. The process by which genetic information is transferred from the nucleus to the ribosomes is called transcription. During transcription, a strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA) is synthesized.
What is the process that a bacterium uses to take in genetic information from another cell?
conjugation
What process produces a new copy of an organism genetic information?
replication :)
Chromosomes exchange genetic information through the process of what?
Chromosomes exchange genetic information during a process called crossing over. This occurs during meiosis
How does bacteria exchange genetic information?
on plasmids in a process called conjugation
What does genetic recombiation mean?
Genetic recombination is the process by which two DNA molecules exchange genetic information. This process results in the production of a new combination of alleles.
Which process performs genetic recombination?
Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.
Bacteria usually reproduce asexually However sometimes they do exchange genetic information during conjugation Which structure do they form during this process that is used to exchange genetic info?
Pilus Pilus, Plasmid
Prokaryotes can transfer pieces of genetic material in a process called?
Conjugation
Paramecium can exchange genetic material through this process?
conjugation
What process brings about an exchange of genetic information between bacterial cells?
I think it's "conjugation". pretty soon mrs. pitt's entire exam review is going to be up here!
Why is communication considered a process?
Communication is the exchange of information and the process of communication is the steps we go through to exchange the information.
What Molecules store and process genetic information?
Nucleic acid.
What happens during crossing-over?
Crossing over is the process in which babies are made.
What does bacteria do in the process of conjugation?
Bacteria exchange genetic material during the process of conjugation to ensure the rise of another offspring which is genetically different.
