F plasmid a conjugative plasmid found in F+ (male) bacterial cells that leads with high frequency to its transfer and much less often to transfer of the bacterial chromosome. A cell that has the F plasmid (F+, male) can form a conjugation bridge to a cell that lacks the F plasmid (F−, female), and pass genetic material to the F− cell
