What is the process of conjugation in protists?

Thanks for A2A, Conjugation [1] is a type of sexual reproduction found in lower organisms such as Bacteria (Monera), Algae (Plantae; Thallophyta) and Protists. read more

Conjugation is a type of sexual reproduction found in lower organisms such as Bacteria (Monera), Algae (Plantae; Thallophyta) and Protists. Conjugation process involves the transfer of genetic material from one cell to the other via conjugation bridge. read more

Conjugation, the second major kind of sexual phenomenon and one occurring in the ciliated protists, has genetic and evolutionary results identical to those of syngamy. The process involves the fusion of gametic nuclei rather than independent gamete cells. read more

Conjugation in bacteria is less complex because the DNA is only transferred to the one other cell. Conjugation in protist is more complex because the DNA from both cells are being put together to form a whole new cell. read more
