Question

Which of the following best describes the process of conjugation?

DNA segments from broken-down prokaryotic cells are taken in and incorporated into the DNA of living cells.

A bridgelike connection forms between two prokaryotic cells, through which genetic information is transferred.

Changes in a cell’s DNA sequences occur during replication, and those changes are passed on to daughter cells.



A virus takes in a segment of DNA from one bacterial cell and inserts it into another bacterial cell.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is (B)

Explanation: A bridge like connection forms between two prokaryotic cells, through which genetic information is transferred.

Answer 2

The option which best describes the process of conjugation is the second one - a bridgelike connection forms between two prokaryotic cells, through which genetic information is transferred.
Conjugation has to do with DNA transfer from one bacterial cell to another.
