Bacterial Conjugation

Conjugation can only transfer plasmids, not chromosomal genes.

Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material from a recipient strain to a donor strain.

Conjugation occurs between two bacterial cells that are not in close contact.

The F factor is a plasmid that carries the genes for conjugative transfer. (correct)

To bind to the recipient F- cell. (correct)

To produce restriction enzymes.

To restrict the incorporation of foreign DNA into bacterial genomes.

To prevent the transfer of DNA between bacterial cells.

They can only transfer plasmids, not chromosomal genes.

They have a lower frequency of transfer of adjacent bacterial chromosomal genes.

They have the F factor integrated into the bacterial chromosome. (correct)

They possess a fertility factor on a plasmid.
