Is genetic material is transferred through a pilus in binary fission?
This is bacterial reproduction in the form of conjugation.
In bacteria genes may be transferred through a pilus which acts like a bridge in a process called?
Conjugation - its when genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells that are temporarily joined. The transfer is also one-way.
What is the difference between the conjugation that occurs between paramecia and the conjugation that occurs between bacteria?
this Q was awnsered by someone else already and this is what it put and im 90% sure its right- In paaramecia, two individuals of different mating types come together and form a cytoplasmic bridge between them. This is followed by a complex set of divisions and i that ultimately results in an exchange in genetic material between the conjugants analogous to the sexual reproduction seen in multicellular organisms. In bacteria, a structure called the sex pilus "joins" the two organisms and allows for an exchange of genetic information.
What is a tubular appendage found on some bacteria that allows transfer of DNA between bacterial cells?
it is called a sex pilus
Describe the process of reproduction in bacteria?
Conjugation is a sexual form of reproduction in bacteria. It is when the DNA/RNA from one bacteria crosses to another bacteria to reproduce through a pilus. Binary Fission is an asexual form of reproduction in bacteria when the cell splits and forms two new bacteria.
What allows the bacteria to join together to transfer genes?
pili or pilus is what allows for conjugation between bacteria i.e. genetic transfer.
What is it called when a bacterium uses a pilus to transfer it DNA?
Conjugation
What is it called when abacterium use a pilus to transfer its dna?
Conjugation
Is genetic material is transferred through a pilus in binary fission?
This is bacterial reproduction in the form of conjugation.
What is the difference between conjugation and hyperconjugation?
conjugation hyperconjugationprocess in which
Exchange of genetic information that occurs from one bacterium to another through a hollow bridge?
The three forms of bacterial DNA exchange are (1) TRANSFORMATION, (2) CONJUGATION and (3) TRANSDUCTION.
In bacteria genes may be transferred through a pilus which acts like a bridge in a process called?
Conjugation - its when genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells that are temporarily joined. The transfer is also one-way.
Do viruses undergo conjugation?
No. Conjugation applies to bacterial "sex" where a sex pilus is involved in the exchange of genetic material. A virus relies upon a hosts'genetic material for reproduction.
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
What is the difference between pilus and fimbriea?
They both are noticed in gram negative bacteria only; -Fimbriea are much in number, where as pili are 2 or more -Fimbriea re specialized for attachment of bacteria to its host, and Pili are responsible for seduction(conjugation) and serve as receptors for certain viruses
During conjugation which what structures does a bacteria form that is used to transfer DNA?
conjugation occurs between two bacterial cells and transfers DNA in the form of plasmids. this is one way to transfer of genetic material - it is not sexual reproduction, The other two ways to transfer genetic material between bacteria are transformation and transduction. In order to be able to perform coagulation (transfer of a plasmid) the bacteria must have an F factor (DNA that codes for the PILI protein, which allows the bacteria to create a bridge through which the bacteria inject the plasmid to another bacteria). Bacteria with F factor is called F+, and without it is called F-. F+ can transfer the plasmid to an F- bacteria.
