Which type of bacterial reproduction involves the donation of a single strand of plasmid dna from one bacterial cell to another? binary fission conjugation transformation transduction

Answer;

-Conjugation

Explanation;

-Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission. During this type of asexual reproduction, the single DNA molecule replicates and both copies attach, at different points, to the cell membrane.

-Some bacteria are capable of transferring pieces of their genes to other bacteria that they contact, by the process called conjugation. During conjugation, one bacterium connects itself to another through a protein tube structure called a pilus. Genes are transferred from one bacterium to the other through this tube.

-Other bacteria, undergoes transformation, these bacteria are capable of taking up DNA from their environment. During transformation, the bacterium binds the DNA and transports it across the bacterial cell membrane. The new DNA is then incorporated into the bacterial cell's DNA.

the backbone of the dna and rna compound is sugar phosphate.
