Consider the following statement: Bacteria can exchange genetic material through conjugation without the need for any protein structures or control mechanisms. Is this statement True or False

Respuesta :

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

Bacteria exchange genetic material  through conjugation with the help of proteins and various other factors.

It is the temporary union of two bacteria for the exchange of genetic material.

Steps  :

It uses its pilus to attach to the recipient cell, and then these two cells are pulled together.

Then A channel forms between the cytoplasms of the two cells, through which conjugation occurs.
