Choose the statement below that is true about the characteristics of the bacterial fertility factor factor. O The fertility factor carries genes responsible for uptake of naked DNA, and has several IS elements to assist plasmid integration into host cell's chromosome. The fertility factor carries genes responsible for formation of bacteriophages, and has several IS elements to assist plasmid transfer through the sex pilus. O The fertlity factor carries genes responsible for formation of sex pili, and has several IS elements to assist plasmid integration into host cell's chromosome. The fertility factor carries genes responsible for formation of sex pili, and has several IS elements to assist plasmid transfer through the sex pilus.

explain how Plasmids Carry Genes in Addition toThose in the Bacterial Chromosome

Briefly explain the role of arabinose in the expression of the GFP gene of the pGLO plasmid.

Match each characteristic to the proper bacterial fertility factor type. F bacterium F+ bacterium F bacterium Hfr bacterium Answer Bank recipient of DNA during bacterial conjugation bacteria with F factor integrated into genome contains a plasmid with only the F factor does not contain the F factor sequences contains a plasmid with the F factor and some genomic DNA

describe F plasmid

Describe the differences between genetic complementation and recombination as they relate to the detection of wild-type lysis by a mutant bacteriophage.

All of the following could transfer antibiotic resistance genes during horizontal gene transfer EXCEPT transposons chromosomal DNA ribosomes O conjugative R plasmids
