2. 
   conjugation
   In general, any of various sexual processes in microorganisms in which gene transfer follows the establishment of direct contact between two (or more) cells which typically show little or no morphological differentiation from vegetative cells. In bacterial conjugation, one bacterium (the 'male' or donor cell) transfers DNA to another (the 'female' or recipient cell) while the cells are in physical contact; a recipient that has received DNA from a donor is called a transconjugant.

3. 
   Conjugation
   In eucaryotes, the process of sexual reproduction by which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote; in procaryotes, transfer of genetic information from one cell to another by cell-to-cell contact.

7. 
   conjugation
   Union between two gametes or between two cells leading to the transfer of genetic material. In eukaryotes the classic examples are in Paramecium and Spirogyra . Conjugation between bacteria involves an F+ bacterium (with F-pili) attaching to an F-; transfer of the F-plasmid then occurs through the sex pilus. In Hfr mutants the F-plasmid is integrated into the chromosome and so chromosomal material is transferred as well. Conjugation occurs in many Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces ).
