New cards
High-Frequency Recombination (Hfr)
Occurs when an F+ plasmid integrates into the bacterial chromosome
2
New cards
Hfr Cell
A bacterial cell with an integrated F plasmid that can transfer chromosomal genes during conjugation
3
New cards
Hfr Conjugation
The transfer of part of the bacterial chromosome along with the F plasmid to a recipient cell
4
New cards
Partial Transfer in Hfr
The entire F plasmid is rarely transferred
5
New cards
F’ Plasmid
An F plasmid that detaches from the chromosome
6
New cards
F’ Conjugation
An F’ plasmid can be transferred to another bacterium
7
New cards
Genetic Variation
Hfr and F’ conjugation contribute to genetic diversity in bacterial populations
