Question

What are the sexual methods of reproduction in bacteria?

Answer 1

There are 3 methods of sexual reproduction in Bacteria: 1) Bacterial transformation: Transformation is one of three processes for horizontal gene transfer, in which exogenous genetic material passes from bacterium to another, the other two being conjugation and transduction. 2) Bacterial transduction: Transduction is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus. 3) Bacterial conjugation: Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or by a bridge-like connection between two cells.
