Summary
The
F Plasmid
, or
Fertility plasmid
, is a
DNA Sequence
that allows bacteria to
Transfer genetic material
through a process called conjugation, facilitating
Horizontal Gene Transfer
. It carries
Genes that encode for the formation of a pilus
, which is essential for the
Conjugation Process
, and can integrate into the
Bacterial Chromosome
, becoming an
Hfr Strain
that enhances
Genetic Recombination
.
