Week 3 Discussion (100 word minimum)

Bacteria are prokaryotes. As such, they do not undergo sexual reproduction. If a single bacterium has a mutation, it will pass that along to the daughter cells when it undergoes asexual reproduction, also known as "binary fission."

Here is the question… Can one bacterium insert its DNA into another bacterium? If so, how does this happen? If this does happen, can you think of any implications for antibiotic resistance problems?
