Summary Introduction

To determine:

The types of matings that are possible between F+ , F- , Hfr and F cells.

Introduction:

In bacterial cells, conjugation depends on a plasmid that is present in the donor cell and absent in recipient cell. The mating between two bacterial cells is possible only when one of the bacterial cells consists of F factor and the other does not consists of any F factor.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The outcomes these matings produce.

Introduction:

The matings between the different types of bacterial cells produces other bacterial cells. The matings leads to the transfer of information through conjugation. The information is about the order of genes and the distance between them.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The role of F factor in conjugation.

Introduction:

The F factor is known as fertility factor. The cell which consists of F factor are represented as F+ and the cells which do not have F factor are known as F-.
