An F+ bacterial cell __________.
A
acts as a receptor during conjugation
B
transfers DNA by way of transduction
C
has many antibiotic resistance genes
D
uses fimbriae to transfer DNA
E
acts as a donor during conjugation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of bacterial conjugation: Conjugation is a process where genetic material is transferred between bacterial cells through direct contact.
Identify the role of F+ cells in conjugation: F+ cells contain the F factor, a piece of DNA that allows them to form a pilus and initiate the transfer of genetic material.
Recognize the function of the pilus: The pilus is a structure that connects the F+ cell to an F- cell, facilitating the transfer of DNA.
Clarify the difference between donor and recipient cells: In conjugation, the F+ cell acts as the donor, transferring DNA to the recipient F- cell.
Conclude that the F+ bacterial cell acts as a donor during conjugation, not as a receptor or through other methods like transduction.
