Which gene in a plasmid is indispensible for it to participate in conjugation?(a) Pilli forming gene(b) Origin of replication(c) Sex determining gene(d) Origin of transferI got this question in my homework.The question is from Gene Mapping in Bacteria by Conjugation in portion Genomics : The Mapping and Sequencing of Genomes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) SEX determining gene

The best I can explain: There is no particular sex determining gene in bacteria, their pseudo sex is determined by presence or absence f FERTILITY FACTOR. HOWEVER pilli forming gene is necessary for the conjugation channel, ORI of transfer and ori of replication also maintain a plasmid.
