Answer 2

Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or by a bridge-like connection between two cells.

Answer 3

while fission occurs when a cell divides into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells.

Answer 4

u getting it ?

Answer 5

ummm I'm reading it now... one sec

Answer 6

Ok so conjunction is more like direct contact the cells like meet...but with fission it is more indirect? @Abhisar

Answer 7

in fission cell division takes place but in conjugation no cell division takes place

Answer 8

Oh I see, ok so then in fission new cells are being formed since they are dividing?

Answer 9

conjunction is like sending song from phone to other phone through Bluetooth lol

Answer 10

yes in fission new cells form, in BInary two new cells form. Look at this diagram it is for conjugation. Try to explain it to me

Answer 11

No its like through DATA CABLE @Somy LOL

Answer 12

so its not like Bluetooth?! lol

Answer 13

And the data cable used here is called as SEX PILLI

Answer 14

nooooo its Bluetooth!!!

Answer 15

lmao @Abhisar

Answer 16

No..nohing wireless happens here... :p... :p

Answer 17

*nothing

Answer 18

anyways @B_O_R_E_D u got the point ?

Answer 19

lol well yeah its just easier to remember if u compare things with daily life @Abhisar

Answer 20

u think data cable is not used in daily life...what about those who have Iphones...???
:P :D

Answer 21

@Somy

Answer 22

ok so for the conjunction image, the cells are meeting and like connecting and one cell passes on its info and DNA to the other cell...so now you basically have two cells with all the same DNA and they are the same???.....is that right? @Abhisar

Answer 23

and with binary fission its two new cells being formed...so bi meaning two?....right? @Abhisar

Answer 24

oh well yeah that makes sense lol @Abhisar

Answer 25

Yes..Bi means two and yes its correct what u said about conjugation

Answer 26

Yay! thank you! that makes more sense...could u answer a few more questions please?

Answer 27

But remember in conjugation only plasmid (extra chromosomal) DNA is passed or transfered

Answer 28

So the cell which receives the DNA (song :P ) is not exactly same as that one of donor. Because it already has its own DNA and now in addition to it, have the plasmid DNA

Answer 29

This is lill complicated but u can understand...u getting ?

Answer 30

um for the most part....so it is passing on its DNA but is not entirely the same...since it still has all its own genetic info....but its similar....but it is using a cell that is already like there...and not forming new cells, its just using cells that are already....umm like alive?

Answer 31

yes.. \(\huge\ddot\smile\)

Answer 32

awesome! thank you!!!!....can I ask you a few more?....if u dont mind

Answer 33

yeahhh..certainly i'll not mind !!

Answer 34

But post them as new questions

Answer 35

oh ok, I'll do that now!

Answer 36

can u go to the first question I asked...I never got an answer...idk if u can get to it.... @Abhisar

Answer 37

which was yesterday

Answer 38

reply its link
