Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacterial cell to another through a sex pilus. The donor cell contains a plasmid that carries the genetic information to be transferred, and the recipient cell receives this plasmid through the pilus. This process is often referred to as bacterial "mating" and is a form of horizontal gene transfer.
