When two paramecia attach to each other, they exchange genetic material through a process called conjugation, which involves the temporary fusion of their cell membranes. During conjugation, genetic material such as plasmids or chromosomal fragments can be transferred between the two paramecia, leading to genetic diversity and potential exchange of beneficial traits.

What is cross conjugation?

Cross-conjugation is a special type of conjugation in a molecule, when in a set of three Pi bonds only two pi-bonds interact with each other by conjugation, the third one is excluded from interaction [1]. In classical terms it means that the strict alternation of single and double bonds --CH=CH–CH=CH–CH-- (i.e., conjugated) is interrupted by two consecutive single bonds at each cross-conjugated point in the cross-conjugated pathway: --CH=CH–C(=CH)–CH=CH--. Examples of cross-conjugation can be found in molecules such as benzophenone, divinylether, dendralenes and fullerene. The type of conjugation has an impact on reactivity and molecular electronic transitions.


What is the small section of a chromosome where sister chromatids attach to each other?

The small section of a chromosome where sister chromatids attach to each other is called the centromere. It plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate segregation of genetic material during cell division.

Bacteria change genetic information with each through conjugation.


Can two pieces of rock join together to make another new bigger piece of rock?

No, they can't because their molecules/atoms don't attract to each other, and they can't attach to each other.


How do you say have been learning a little every week in spanish?

In Spanish, the auxiliary verb 'have' is a different word for each person in the conjugation. Therefore, to fully answer this question, a person and a conjugation had to be arbitrarily selected. In this case, the first person conjugation (I) was chosen. "...he estado aprendiendo un poco cada semana."

Can some bacteria exchange genetic material with each other using a thin tube to connect them?

Yes, this process is known as bacterial conjugation. During conjugation, a thin tube called a pilus allows the transfer of genetic material (such as plasmids) from one bacterium to another. This exchange of genetic material contributes to bacterial diversity and can lead to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial populations.
