Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bacterial cell with the F plasmid integrated into the chromosome is known as an Hfr (high frequency of recombination) cell. Hfr cells have the ability to transfer portions of their chromosome, including some of the F plasmid, to a recipient cell during conjugation. Option A is incorrect because F⁻ cells do not have the F plasmid. Option B is incorrect because F⁺ cells have the F plasmid but it is not integrated into the chromosome. Option C is incorrect because F' cells have an extra piece of the chromosome with the F plasmid present as a separate entity. Option E is incorrect because one of the options is the correct answer.
