What is the role of the F-factor in conjugation? It contains genes that force recombination between the donor and recipient chromosomes. It degrades the chromosome of the recipient cell after conjugation. It contains genes necessary for replication of the donor's F plasmid. It contains genes necessary for the formation of the pilus. It allows auxotrophic bacterial cells to survive on minimal medium so that conjugation can occur.

In conjugation, when a bacterial F factor is transferred: a. the donor cell becomes $F^{-}$. b. the recipient cell becomes $F^{+}$ c. the recipient cell becomes $F^{-}$. d. the donor cell turns into a recipient cell. e. chromosomal DNA is transferred in the mating.
