In a Hypothetical Situation, the Genes for Sex Pilus Construction

In a hypothetical situation, the genes for sex pilus construction and for tetracycline resistance are located on the same plasmid within a particular bacterium. If this bacterium readily performs conjugation involving a copy of this plasmid, then the result should be the ________.

A) temporary possession by this bacterium of a completely diploid genome
B) rapid spread of tetracycline resistance to other bacteria in that habitat
C) subsequent loss of tetracycline resistance from this bacterium
D) production of endospores among the bacterium's progeny
