Respuesta :

The Hfr genome couldn't be completely transferred because the cells couldn't stay in contact for long enough. Bacterial sex is another name for bacterial conjugation.

What transpires when a F cell and a Hfr cell pair up?

Recipient cell remains recipient following the cross between Hfr and F- cells. Chromosomes and some F-factor are almost always transferred from the donor to the recipient cell during this conjugation. Recombination occurs frequently as a result.

Gene conversion will occur much less frequently in Hfr strains (F+ strains with an integrated F factor, such as B, C, and D). The F factor is the last piece of the bacterial chromosome to be transferred during conjugation.
