Answer: Genetically similar

Explanation:

Conjugation can be defined as the process by which bacteria transfers the genetic material through a tube like material between two cells.

This method of gene transfer provides genetic variability to the bacterial cell by giving bacteria antibiotic resistant gene and making it an antibiotic resistant bacterial cell.

So, if the cell is unable to perform conjugation, there will be no genetic variability in the bacterial cell.
