Which statement best describes an F' bacterial cell? It does not contain the F factor. It contains an F factor that is integrated into the chromosome of the host cell. It contains an F plasmid that includes some bacterial genes. It has lost the ability to undergo conjugation with an F cell. It is not able to grow on complete medium.

Conjugation of bacterial cells in order to transfer the F- factor involves all of the following except Group of answer choices a) The recipients cells will die and donor cell can take in its genes b) F-factor is transferred to allow the formation of the pilus c) Can involve High frequency (Hfr) transfer where transmission of chromosomal genes from a donor cell to a recipient cell d) The pilus pulls the two bacteria close together

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