Multiple Choice
Why does conjugation with an Hfr donor result in a much higher rate of gene transfer than conjugation with an F+ donor?
A) An F+ donor makes fewer pili.
B) The Hfr donor segment must undergo recombination in the recipient.
C) An F+ donor's T strand is slow to reach the pilus.
D) The Hfr donor transfers genes from the chromosome and not the plasmid.
