Descriptor conjugación genética
Entry term(s) conjugación bacteriana
Scope note: Proceso parasexual de BACTERIAS, ALGAS, HONGOS y EUCARIOTAS ciliados, en el que se produce un intercambio de material cromosómico durante la fusión de dos células. En las bacterias esta transferencia de material es unidireccional y en los protozoos es bidireccional. En las algas y hongos es una forma de reproducción sexual con unión de gametos femenino y masculino.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003227
Scope note: A parasexual process in BACTERIA; ALGAE; FUNGI; and ciliate EUKARYOTA for achieving exchange of chromosome material during fusion of two cells. In bacteria, this is a uni-directional transfer of genetic material; in protozoa it is a bi-directional exchange. In algae and fungi, it is a form of sexual reproduction, with the union of male and female gametes.
