Answer;
Pilis
Explanation;
-Bacterial conjugation is the process by which one bacterium transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or by a bridge-like connection between two cells. During conjugation, one bacterium serves as the donor of the genetic material, and the other serves as the recipient.
Bacterial conjugation involves;
-Shortening of pilus
-Enzymatic cleavage of one strand a the origin of transfer
-Direct contact between donor and recipient cells
-Recipient cell becomes a donor cell after conjugation
