Question
How does conjugation in some unicellular organisms differ from typical sexual reproduction?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Conjugation (e.g., in bacteria and some protists) involves the temporary union of two cells and the one-way transfer of genetic material (often a plasmid) through a conjugation tube. It does not involve the formation of true gametes or result in immediate offspring.
Hint
It's a form of genetic exchange, not reproduction resulting in new individuals directly.
