True or False: For conjugation to occur, bacterial cells must physically contact each other. A True B False

The correct answer is A) True.

For bacterial conjugation to occur, direct physical contact between the donor and recipient cells is required. This contact is typically mediated by a pilus, which is a structure that allows the cells to connect and transfer DNA, usually plasmid DNA, from the donor to the recipient cell. Without this physical contact, conjugation cannot take place.
