What is bacterial conjugation and how does it play a role in antibiotic resistance? A. Bacterial conjugation is a method by which bacteria exchange genes. If a bacterium develops resistance to an antibiotic, it can quickly share this resistance with other bacteria through conjugation. This would happen if a bacterium evolves or acquires a Resistance (R) plasmid. B. Antimicrobial resistance is solely due to the overuse of antibiotics: it’s unrelated to bacterial conjugation where bacteria share genetic information. C. Bacterial conjugation only occurs when bacteria exchange genetic material for reproductive purposes, not for sharing antibiotic resistance traits. D. Bacteria develop antibiotic resistance solely due to natural selection. Bacterial conjugation is a separate mechanism where bacteria simply share genes.

True or False: Can two different species of bacteria conduct bacterial conjugation? Responses True, as long as they have identical chromosomal DNA. True, as long as they have identical chromosomal DNA. True, as long as there is a plasmid to be transferred between them any bacteria can do it. True, as long as there is a plasmid to be transferred between them any bacteria can do it. False, they have different genus. False, they have different genus. False, the pilus would not form a hollow bridge since they are different species

Choose the event below that does not occur during bacterial conjugation. Multiple Choice The recipient cell becomes a donor cell after conjugation. Enzymes cleave one strand of the DNA at the origin of transfer. Transfer of the DNA strands occurs in both directions. Shortening of the pilus occurs during conjugation. Direct contact between is made between donor and recipient cells.
