After conjugation between an F+ cell and an F- cell, is the F- cell F- or F+? After conjugation between

an Hfr cell and an F- cell, is the F- cell F- or F+? Explain each answer.



What will be an ideal response?


After conjugation between F+ and F- cells, the F- cell becomes F+ because the F factor is completely
transferred from the F+ cell to the F- cell. After conjugation between Hfr and F- cells, the F factor is
not completely transferred, and therefore the F- cell remains F-.
