Pili

Explanation:

The sex of bacteria is determined by a structure called Pilli. Pilli is not present in all species of bacteria, but within species that have this structure, such as Escherichia coli, pilli is considered an appendage present in male bacteria.

Pilli presents itself as a long hair and can also be called F factor or fertility factor and has a reproductive function, as it allows the conjunction between two bacteria (one with pili and the other without), where the male bacteria transmit genetic resources to within the body of the female bacteria , which will combine these resources with its own resources and will give rise to another bacteria.
