HFR cells, or High Frequency of Recombination cells, are characterized by having the F factor (fertility factor) integrated into their bacterial chromosome. This allows them to initiate conjugation with F- cells and transfer part of their chromosome along with the F factor, leading to high levels of genetic recombination.
