Category:GO:0009291 ! unidirectional conjugation
name: unidirectional conjugation
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process of unidirectional (polarized) transfer of genetic information involving direct cellular contact between a donor and recipient cell; the contact is followed by the formation of a cellular bridge that physically connects the cells. Some or all of the chromosome(s) of the donor cell is transferred into the recipient cell." [Wikipedia:Bacterial_conjugation]
comment: Unidirectional conjugation is not a type of not sexual reproduction, since no exchange of gamete occurs and no generation of a new organism: instead an existing organism is transformed.
