Introduction:

Genetic recombination is characterized by DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) transfer in bacteria from one organism, known as the donor, to another organism, known as the recipient. Bacteria can transmit their genetic material naturally by various mechanisms, one of which is conjugation. A bacterium transfers its genetic material (donor) to the recipient.
