When a bacterial cell with a chromosome-borne F factor conjugates with another bacterium, how is the transmitted donor DNA incorporated into the recipient's genome?

A) It is substituted for the equivalent portion of the recipient's chromosome by the process of crossing over. B) It circularizes and becomes one of the recipient cell's plasmids.
