Which of the following is NOT a step involved in rolling circle replication during conjugation?
A) A protein complex known as the relaxosome cuts one strand of the F+ plasmid.
B) A double stranded plasmid is transferred to the F- cell through the conjugation pilus.
C) Rolling circle replication occurs in the donor.
D) Replication begins at the oriT after relaxosome binding.
E) Relaxase facilitates passage of the T strand into the recipient cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In rolling circle replication during conjugation, a single strand of the plasmid is transferred to the recipient cell, not a double-stranded plasmid. The transferred strand then serves as a template for synthesis in the recipient, while the remaining strand in the donor is also replicated.
