Question

hich of the following occurs during bacterial conjugation? a. The genome is duplicated and then diverges. b. An insertion sequence finds a target site on another DNA strand then uses recombination to insert itself into that strand. c. An F+ plasmid transfers via rolling circle replication through a relaxosome to an F- cell. d. A bacteriophage packages its capsid with degraded host DNA then infects a new host, delivering the previous host’s genes.

Answer 1

Answer: Option D.

An F+ plasmid transfers via rolling circle replication through relaxosome to an F- cell.

Explanation:

Bacteria conjugation is the transfer of DNA between bacteria cell through cell to cell contact or bridge like connection between bacteria cells.

During bacteria conjugation, DNA is transferred from the bacterium donor of a mating pair to the recepient through pilus.

An F+ plasmid which is the donor transfers via rolling circle replication through a relaxosome to an F- cell.
