Which best describes conjugation in bacteria

The type of asexual reproduction done by prokaryotic cells is termed as thebinary fission. Binary fission is a reproduction process wherein one cell divides asexually into two cells forming two daughter cells. into In binary fission, the chromosome is being replicated in which the resultant prokaryote is exactly the same copy of the parental prokaryote which means to say that there is no chance for genetic diversity. However, prokaryotes can still share or even exchange genes through the mechanisms of  transformation, transduction and conjugation.

Cell division is important to single celled organisms because it allows the cells to reproduce. through cell division, cells make exact copies of themselves. when single celled organisms go through cell division, they make exact copies of themselves which is how they reproduce.
