Conjugation is a type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction. In conjugation, genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells through direct physical contact. This allows for genetic diversity and the exchange of beneficial traits between bacteria.

What is the difference between bacterial sex and sexual reproduction in plants and animals?
Bacterial sex involves the exchange of genetic material (plasmids) through processes such as conjugation, transformation, or transduction to increase genetic diversity. Sexual reproduction in plants and animals involves the fusion of gametes from two parents to produce offspring with genetic variation. Bacterial sex does not involve the fusion of gametes or the formation of offspring.
What is the form of sexual reproduction in some bacteria?
Sexual reproduction doesn't exist in bacteria but bacterial conjugation does. DNA transfer between bacterial cells typically involves small pieces of DNA in the form of plasmids or chromosomal fragments. These new fragments can give antibiotic resistance and other genes that are helpful to the bacteria.
Type of reproduction which involves the union of gametes or reproductive cells?
Sexual reproduction involves the union of gametes, or reproductive cells, from two parents to produce offspring with genetic variation.
What is the name for a frog reproduction and a human reproduction?
Frog reproduction is called "spawn" or "clutch", while human reproduction is also commonly referred to as "sexual reproduction".
Cells used for sexual reproduction are formed by a process called?
meiosis
What is the type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction is?
Asexual reproduction
What is the type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction?
conjugation
How flower sexual reproduction is similar to human sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction involves the combining of genetic material from the male and female. This is basic to sexual reproduction so in this respect flowers and humans are the same.
What is similar between asexual and sexual reproduction?
They are both forms of reproduction.

What is the process in the sexual reproduction of flowing plants which is similar to the transfer of sperm to the female's body in the sexual reproduction of human being?
um......what.....
Is bacteria sexual or asexual?
Bacteria can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction includes binary fission, where a bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Sexual reproduction in bacteria involves genetic recombination through a process called conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between bacterial cells.
How is sexual reproduction similar in all species?
there is always sperm
Why do you think flowers are similar from one another?
sexual reproduction
How plants make new plants?
It is similar to other organisms. Plants using reproduction. So they can make new plants.By regeneration and sexual reproduction

What is the reproduction of all body cells called?
mitosis and the sexual reproduction of cells are called meiosis
