Quizplus · Accepted Answer

F' plasmids are plasmids that carry some chromosomal genes, as they are formed when a portion of the bacterial chromosome is mistakenly incorporated into an F plasmid during conjugation. They are not responsible for high frequency recombination (option A) and by definition have been incorporated into a bacterial chromosome at some point in time (option C is incorrect).
