In a culture containing both F⁻ and F⁺ cells,which of the following will occur if we wait long enough
A)No conjugation will occur
B)The cells will all become genetically identical

D)All F⁺ cells will become F⁻ cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the presence of both F⁻ and F⁺ cells, conjugation can occur where F⁺ cells transfer the F plasmid to F⁻ cells, converting them into F⁺ cells. Over time, this transfer can continue until all F⁻ cells become F⁺. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.

In a Culture Containing Both F⁻ and F⁺ Cells,which of the Following
