Tube which connects two bacteria during conjugation.
Conjugation is the process at which genetic information is passed among microorganisms.
It serves as an important adaptation in bacteria as they gain resistance against antibiotics. The following information will provide a summary of the mechanisms of conjugation and how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance from it. The key to all life is the DNA template. It is composed of substances called nucleic acids which include Adenosine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. The function of the template is to provide the instructions to produce different proteins.
