Question

the image below is representing 2 bacterial cells in which a select is being passed from one cell to the next in a process called select.

Explanation:

In bacterial conjugation, genetic material (often a plasmid) is transferred from one bacterial cell to another. The image likely depicts this process where a plasmid (extra - chromosomal DNA) is being passed. Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.

Answer:

First blank: Plasmid (or genetic material). Second blank: Conjugation.
