Why does conjugation with an Hfr donor result in a much higher rate of gene transfer than conjugation with an F⁺ donor? A)An F⁺ donor makes fewer pili. B)An F⁺ donor's T strand is slow to reach the pilus. C)The Hfr donor transfers genes from the chromosome and not the plasmid. D)The Hfr donor segment must undergo recombination in the recipient. E)The F⁺ donor segment must undergo recombination in the recipient.

Hfr donors integrate the F factor into their chromosome, allowing them to transfer chromosomal genes at a higher rate during conjugation.
