Genes close to the origin of transfer are moved early during conjugation.
Genes distant from the transfer origin are transferred late during conjugation.

Bacterial conjugation is the often regarded as the bacterial equivalent of sexual reproduction or mating; however it is not actually sexual as it does not involve the fusing of gametes and the creation of a zygote, ...
Full article >>>

When conjugation is initiated, via a mating signal, a complex of proteins called the relaxosome creates a nick in one plasmid DNA strand at the origin of transfer, or oriT.

Conjugation
A process where two cells come in contact and exchange genetic material. In prokaryotes the transfer is a one-way process.

Conjugation is another means of gene transfer in many species of bacteria (Fig. 3).

Conjugation
Some bacteria, E. coli is an example, can transfer a portion of their chromosome to a recipient with which they are in direct contact. As the donor replicates its chromosome, the copy is injected into the recipient.

Conjugation
The establishment of a bridge between a donor and a recipient cell and the transfer of DNA from one cell to the other. Conjugation is mediated by certain plasmids and transposons.

Conjugation. The joining of two bacteria cells when genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another.
Constitutive promoter. An unregulated promoter that allows for continual transcription of its associated gene. (See Promoter.) ...

In bacteria, the transfer of DNA between two cells that are temporarily joined.

conjugation Temporary union of two ciliate protozoa while they are exchanging chromatin material and undergoing nuclear phenomena resulting in binary fission. Also, formation of cytoplasmic bridges between bacteria for transfer of plasmids.

in linguistics, grammatical conjugation
in biology, conjugation is sexual reproduction involving interchange of DNA between cells, rather than their fusion.

0, precluding influx of genes by transformation, transduction and conjugation, respectively. However, prophage have been recognized in the Ferroplasma genome sequence and acidophilic phage have been detected in the biofilm community.

The sum of all energy transfers within a cell is known as _____. a) photosynthesis; b) cellular respiration; c) metabolism; d) replication; e) conjugation.
Full article >>>

The Subkingdom of the Kingdom Animalia, in older classification systems, that includes all unicellular organisms that lack differentiated tissues and that primarily reproduce through asexual means, although conjugation does occur.
