Select all of the TRUE statements. (Select all that apply.)
The direct movement of DNA between two bacteria of the samegeneration is called horizontal genetic transfer.
In conjugation, the strand of DNA that is transferred from thedonor cell to the recipient cell is single stranded.
The process of conjugation may introduce new genes into therecipient strain, altering its genotype.
A cell with an F factor integrated into the bacterial chromosomeis called F+.
An episome is a segment of bacterial DNA that can exist as aplasmid or be integrated into the bacterial chromosome.
During transformation, homologous recombination may occur if thesequence of the introduced DNA has no similarity to the hostDNA.
