Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To draw: The steps that take place during conjugation.
Introduction: Transfer of genes in prokaryotes occurs through horizontal transfer mechanisms such as transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The mechanism of conjugation involves contact of cells in which the genetic material is transferred between the two cells having different mating types.
