8. What results from conjugation between a bacterium that lacks an F factor (F−) and a bacterium that has an F factor on its
chromosome (F+)?
(A) The F− bacterium ends up carrying one or more plasmids from the F+ bacterium; the F+ bacterium is unchanged.
(B) The F+ bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F− bacterium, and the F−
bacterium ends up with an unaltered chromosome.
(C) The F+ bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F− bacterium, and the F−
bacterium ends up with a chromosome that lacks those genes.
(D) The F− bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F+ bacterium, and the F+
bacterium ends up with an unaltered chromosome.
(E) The F+ bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F− bacterium, and the F+
bacterium ends up with an unaltered chromosome.
