Sexduction is not the same as Conjugation why when you search for sexduction it redirects to conjugation. sexduction is another proccess in bacteria resulting F-prime factor. It happens when an abnormal crossing over occures in Integrated F-Factor in genome resulting a F-factor with additional genes called F-prime factor

Biology, 6th edition, by Neil A. Campbell and Jane B. Reece, uses the term "sex pilus" for the pilus involved in bacterial conjugation.
The DNA donor, referred to informally as the "male," uses appendages called sex pili to attach to the DNA recipient, the "female."
They even state outright that it's sexual...
Conjugation is the direct transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells that are temporarily joined. This process, the bacterial version of sex, has been studied most extensively in E. coli.
I'm not saying this is definitive, but shouldn't the statement about it not being sexual at least have a specific source, preferably one that can be followed (i.e. a website)? XarBiogeek ( talk) 05:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys, look at Babic et. al. in Science Mar. 2008. Booyah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.79.232 ( talk) 01:40, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I think the Interrupted Mating Experiment at the end should be credited. Hayes, I believe, but I'm not sure. 209.250.215.32 15:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!
Bacterial Conjugation is NOT sexual!!!-- ZZ 02:55, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
It's actually parasexual.
–If you have a source, you should include that in the article... It doesn't mention anything about it being "parasexual". Currently, a search for "parasexual" redirects to "Paraphilia", which is not incredibly helpful on this topic. I would recommend defining "parasexual", or linking and creating another article on parasexuality. XarBiogeek ( talk) 05:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
This site gave me lots of information towards a science project, thank you!!!...best site ever........ 202.134.173.126 ( talk) 16:13, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Different user,
I need more info!
Peer-to-peer bacteria. Way cool. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.100.20.29 ( talk) 00:17, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
shame on you... but I can't say I haven't done the same... haha Ucla1989 ( talk) 18:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
