The frequency of transfer of an $\mathrm{F}^{\prime}$ molecule by conjugation is closest to the frequency of transfer of a) chromosomal genes by conjugation. b) an $\mathrm{F}$ plasmid by conjugation. c) an $F$ plasmid by transformation. d) an $F$ plasmid by transduction. e) an $\mathrm{R}$ plasmid by DNA transformation.
Conjugation is: A) picking up naked DNA from environment B) stalks formation C) using F factor of plasmid formation of pilli to pass plasmid DNA to another bacteria D) form of mutation E) base substitution

An F- cell is the recipient cell during conjugation with an F+ cell. After conjugation is completed, the recipient cell: Has become an Hfr cell Can be used in an interrupted mating experiment to map a bacterial chromosome Has become an F' cell Has acquired an F plasmid, and is F+
