__________ plasmids usually contain an oriT-like DNA replication origin that is recognized by the conjugation apparatus of the transferable plasmid.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mobilizable plasmids do not have the ability to mediate their own transfer, but they do contain an oriT-like DNA replication origin that can be recognized by the conjugation apparatus of a transferable plasmid. This allows the mobilizable plasmid to be transferred along with the transferable plasmid during conjugation. Fertility (F) plasmids, conjugative plasmids, and Hfr (high frequency of recombination) plasmids are all capable of mediating their own transfer and contain their own transfer apparatus. F' plasmids are a subset of fertility plasmids that are derived from the original F plasmid and contain chromosomal DNA inserts.
