Which of the following statements regarding a bacterium that is R+ is FALSE?
A) It possesses a plasmid. B) R+ can be transferred to a cell of the same species. C) R+ can be transferred to a different species. D) It is F+. E) It is resistant to certain drugs and heavy metals.
Homework Answers
Resistance transfer factor (R-factor) is referred to as a plasmid that codes for antibiotic resistance. R-factor plasmid contains genes that encode resistance to unrelated antibiotics. Many R-factors can pass from one bacterium to another through bacterial conjugation and are a common means by which antibiotic resistance spreads between bacterial species, genera and even families.
This the false statement is-
E) It is resistant to certain drugs and heavy metals.
