2
Q

A
After the male cell produces sex pili contact a female cell
3
Q
What is the name for a cell with the f-factor integrated into the genome?
A
An Hfr (high-frequency combination cell)
4
Q
Will a high frequency of combination cell undergo conjugation with an F- cell?
A
Yes. All of the genes of The f factor will present and express normally in the Hfr cell
