Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conjugation is the process by which a bacterium uses a sex pilus to transfer genetic information to another bacterium, typically through the transfer of plasmids containing genes that may provide the recipient bacterium with new traits or mechanisms for survival. Parthenogenesis and apomixis refer to types of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced without genetic recombination or the fusion of gametes, while mitosis and replication refer to cellular processes involved in the replication and division of genetic material within a single organism.
