Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
During bacterial conjugation there is

• A. a partial but mutual exchange of genetic material between the conjugants
• B. only a partial transfer of genetic material from one conjugant to the other
• C. a mutual and complete exchange of genetic material between two conjugants
• D. a complete transfer of genetic material from one conjugant to the other

Answer 1

The correct option is D a complete transfer of genetic material from one conjugant to the other

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. So the correct option is 'a complete transfer of genetic material from one conjugant to the other'.
