1Arrange the following in the proper order in which they occur during bacterial conjugation.

1. DNA at the origin of transfer is cut
2. Relaxosome binds
3. Coupling factor binds
A)1, 2, 3
B)2, 1, 3
C)2, 3, 1
D)3, 2, 1
E)3, 1, 2



2During bacterial conjugation, plasmid replication occurs in
A)the donor only.
B)the recipient only.
C)both the donor and recipient.
D)either the donor or the recipient, but not both.
E)neither the donor nor the recipient.



3If a culture contains both F+ and F- cells, what is expected to happen over time?
A)No conjugation, because conjugation occurs only between cells that are F+.
B)No conjugation, because conjugation occurs only between cells that are F-.
C)All F+ cells will be converted to F-.
D)All F-cells will be converted to F+.
E)All cells will become genetically identical.



4The pilus is found on both the donor and recipient cells.
A)True
B)False



5The exporter pumps the T-DNA into the recipient cell, while leaving relaxase in the donor cell.
