Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduce about conjugation

In 1946, Joshua Lederberg and Edward Tatum showed that bacteria undergo conjugation, a process in which the genetic information from one bacteria is transferred to, and recombined with that of other bacteria. In conjugation direct contact between the donor and recipient bacteria leads to the establishment of a cytoplasmic bridge between them and transfer of a part or all of the donor genome to the recipient takes place.
