What is the term for the exchange of genetic material between bacteria via contact between individuals?
the word is conjugation
What is a plasmid exchange?
Plasmid Exchange is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell to cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells.
How does eubacteria spread?
Eubacteria is also known as simply bacteria. Bacteria spread through the air or contact with a person or object that has been in contact with the bacteria but has not been properly sanitized.
What are some of the entry methods used by bacteria?
it depends on what kind of bacteria you are talking about. the primary modes of transmission are droplet, contact, and airborne. it also depends on the susceptibilty of the host. the most common means of transmission is contact-usually because of failure to wash hands between patients.
Why multicellular organisms need special organs for exchange of gases between their body and their environment?
Our body is made up of prokaryotic cells. These cells are not in the contact with the environment. So the process of diffussion cant make any difference in exchange of gasses between the multicellular boy and environment.

Which kind of heat transfer involves direct contact between the molecules of the hotter object and the colder object?
Conduction involves the direct contact between two objects to transfer heat.
What voyages of christopher Columbus led to contact and an exchange between Europe Asia Africa and the Americas called?
the columbian exchange
What is the process in which a bacterial cell takes in DNA released by a different bacterial cell called?
== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.
What is culture contact?
Cultural Contact is the exchange of ideas and oral tradition.

What is the word for the genetic transfer of material between two bacteria that have direct cell to cell contact?
conjugation
Why does bacteria dividing into two every 20 minutes enable them to evolve rapidly?
Bacteria can reproduce rapidly both by simple cell-division and by the exchange of genes between two bacteria in cell to cell contact. Although not strictly sexual reproduction, it is similar in that two individual are involved in providing genetic material from two different ancestories. This latter type of reproduction is another factor that enables them to achieve remarkable rates of evolution.
What are three necessary elements for the spread of infection?
Direct contact, contamination and exchange of fluids.
How do I find the value of a collector plate from the Bradford exchange?
Contact the Bradford Exchange.
