Hello!

Let's solve this!

The conjugation is a transfer of genetic material through a union between a donor cell (gives the genetic material) and an acceptor cell (accepts the genetic material).

Answer:

Option A, Conjugation

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of conjugation, two organisms of the same species forms a temporary association in order to exchange their nuclear material, or transfer their content completely to other or they fuse into one single organism.

In case of ciliated protozoa, sexual reproduction takes place through conjugation. The two compatible mating strains only can reproduce through conjugation which means a protozoan can mate with a bacteria, algae or fungi
