In an HFR * F⁺ mating,the conjugation bridge usually breaks before chromosomal transfer is complete.Therefore,the recipient remains F^-.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In HFR mating, the donor transfers linearly integrated chromosomal DNA to the recipient. However, in F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 F⁺ mating, the conjugation bridge usually breaks before the entire chromosomal DNA is transferred, resulting in the recipient remaining F^-. Therefore, the statement is true.
