Conjugation in E. coli is controlled by an episome called the F factor. Cells containing F (F+ cells) are donors during gene transfer; cells lacking F (F- cells) are recipients. Hfr cells possess F integrated into the bacterial chromosome; they donate DNA to F- cells at a high frequency. F' cells contain a copy of F with some bacterial genes
-Conjugation between an F+ and an F- cell usually results in
A) two F+ cells.
B) an F+ and an F- cell.
C) an Hfr cell and an F+ cell
