Answers
Answer:
Conjugation is used in nature to share beneficial genetic material between bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance.
However, manually inserting genes into the F-plasmid would allow for scientists to have bacteria transfer almost any gene to other cells, including our AMP kill switch.
Conjugation plays an important role in the evolution of bacterial genomes. Human pathogenic bacteria have acquired many of their virulent traits, as well as antibiotic resistance, by conjugation.
If one learns how to control conjugation, an additional potent weapon to combat human bacterial disease can be obtained.
