Which of the following statements is true
A)High frequency recombination depends on a cell having multiple F plasmids.
B)Promiscuous plasmids can only be transferred between the same species.
C)Cells containing an F´ plasmid have multiple copies of some genes.
D)An F pilus is needed for bacterial transformation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells containing an F´ plasmid have multiple copies of some genes. This is because the F´ plasmid is an F plasmid that has integrated some chromosomal DNA, resulting in multiple copies of some of the genes on the chromosome. In contrast, high frequency recombination can occur when a cell has a single F plasmid that has integrated chromosomal DNA. Promiscuous plasmids can be transferred between different species, not just the same species. An F pilus is needed for bacterial conjugation, not transformation.
