Answer 2

Conjugation is the process by which one bacterium transfers genetic material to another through direct contact. During conjugation, one bacterium serves as the donor of the genetic material, and the other serves as the recipient. The donorbacterium carries a DNA sequence called the fertility factor, or F-factor.
