Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or by a bridge-like connection between two cells. Discovered in 1946 byJoshua Lederberg and Edward Tatum,conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer as are transformation and transduction although these two other mechanisms do not involve cell-to-cell contact
Transfer of DNA from a donor to a recipient by direct physical contact between the cells. In bacteria there are two mating types a donor (male) and a recipient (female) and the direction of transfer of genetic material is one way; DNA is transferred from a donor to a recipient.

When your brain fires that particular pattern of chemical signals and neurons that we call “love”? That’s science.
That uncontrollable passion? Sexual desire? Even kissing! That’s science.
And music? The translation of carefully timed and arranged vibrations in the air, combined in particular ratios of frequencies that we find naturally complementary? That’s science.
