Conjugation
Conjugation explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to update your phone with new apps and features by connecting it to another phone. Just like how phones share data to enhance each other's capabilities, prokaryotic cells undergo conjugation to exchange genetic information and improve their survival traits. In this analogy, the phones represent the prokaryotic cells, the data transfer is akin to the genetic exchange, and the updated features symbolize the enhanced genetic diversity that results from this process.

Conjugation: Sexual reproduction where two prokaryotic cells join to exchange genetic information. Conjugation. Conjugation is a process where bacteria share genetic material by connecting through a bridge-like structure.
