What is a Form of Recombination in Bacteria That Involves

Question

What is a form of recombination in bacteria that involves the F plasmid?
A)fluctuation
B)transformation
C)conjugation
D)adaptation
E)transduction

Accepted Answer

Conjugation is a form of recombination in bacteria where genetic material is transferred through direct cell-to-cell contact. The F plasmid is commonly involved in conjugation, where a cell with an F plasmid (F+) transfers a copy of the plasmid to a recipient cell (F-). This results in the recipient cell becoming an F+ cell and gaining the ability to transfer genetic material to other cells.
