Figure 272 Depicts Changes to the Amount of DNA Present in in a Recipient

question 35

Multiple Choice

Figure 27.2 depicts changes to the amount of DNA present in a recipient cell that is engaged in conjugation with an Hfr cell. Hfr cell DNA begins entering the recipient cell at Time A. Assume that reciprocal crossing over occurs (in other words, a fragment of the recipient's chromosome is exchanged for a homologous fragment from the Hfr cell's DNA) . Use Figure 27.2 to answer the following questions.

• B) cytokinesis
• C) meiosis
• D) degradation of DNA that was not retained in the recipient's chromosome
• E) reversal of the direction of conjugation
