Bacterial transformation is a process of gene transfer by which some bacteria take up foreign genetic material from its environment and get altered.
Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact. This cell-to-cell contact happens when a bridge like structure is formed between the two cells.
Binary fission is the process of asexual reproduction in which a bacterium divides into two similar daughter cells.
