This Week Score Conjugation Plates, Start High Frequency of Recombination (HFR) experiment, Continue Nasonia experiment.
High Frequency of Recombination (Hfr) ...bacteria exhibiting a high frequency of recombination, an alteration DNA sequence such that the genotype of subsequent individuals differs from the parent, …specifically, strains with a chromosome integrated F factor that is able to mobilize and transfer part of the chromosome to the F- cell.
Hfr Cells ...F factor integration site, ...host (bacteria chromosome) integration site. F factor Bacterial Chromosome Inserted F plasmid
F Pilus Attaches to F- Cell
Hfr DNA is Cut
F factor and Chromosomal DNA are Transferred
Recombination Requires Crossing over Double Crossover
DNA not Incorporated into Chromosome are Digested
F factor inserts in different regions of the bacterial chromosome, Also inserts in different orientations.

Indicates direction of transfer. F factor A A a A a Hfr F- Hfr DNA that is not incorporated in the F- strand, and DNA that has crossed out of the F- strand is digested.
Leading Gene: the first gene transferred is determined empirically. F factor A transfers first. A A Hfr F- A transfers last. Hfr A F- Leading Gene: the first gene transferred is determined empirically.
