GO Term : GO:0000761 conjugant formation GO

Namespace:  biological_process Obsolete:  false
description  During conjugation without cellular fusion, the process that results in pairing complementary mating types. Localized morphological, cytological, and cytoskeletal changes connect the mating types without cytoplasmic mixing.

GO:0007155 cell adhesion The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules.
GO:0009987 cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level.
GO:0008150 biological_process Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
GO:0044764 multi-organism cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0051704 multi-organism process A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0000746 conjugation The union or introduction of genetic information from compatible mating types that results in a genetically different individual. Conjugation requires direct cellular contact between the organisms.
GO:0000748 conjugation with mutual genetic exchange A conjugation process that results in the mutual exchange and union of only genetic information between compatible mating types. Conjugation without cellular fusion requires direct cellular contact between the organisms without plasma membrane fusion. The organisms involved in conjugation without cellular fusion separate after nuclear exchange.
GO:0000771 agglutination involved in conjugation The aggregation or adhesion of compatible mating types via complementary cell-cell interactions prior to the formation of irreversible cellular contacts during conjugation.
GO:0098610 adhesion between unicellular organisms The attachment of two unicellular organisms to each other.
GO:0098609 cell-cell adhesion The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules.
GO:0022610 biological adhesion The attachment of a cell or organism to a substrate or other organism.
GO:0098742 cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules that are at least partially embedded in the cell membrane.
GO:0098740 multi organism cell adhesion Cell adhesion that involves cells from multiple organisms or that is mediated by gene products from multiple organisms.
GO:0007157 heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to a nonidentical adhesion molecule in an adjacent cell.
GO:0000761 conjugant formation During conjugation without cellular fusion, the process that results in pairing complementary mating types. Localized morphological, cytological, and cytoskeletal changes connect the mating types without cytoplasmic mixing.
