What is the method that some bacteria undergo in which some or all of their genetic material is transferred to another bacterium?

The method by which some bacteria transfer genetic material to another bacterium is called conjugation. During this process, a donor bacterium (often F+ or Hfr) forms a physical connection to a recipient bacterium (F-) through a sex pilus. The donor transfers a copy of genetic material, typically plasmids or parts of the chromosomal DNA, into the recipient, which may lead to the acquisition of new traits such as antibiotic resistance or new metabolic abilities.
