Conjugating E. coli was discovered to have an F factor aka Fertility factor. Explain what type of biomolecule F factor is and what features the F factor has which enhances its uptake and overall genetic recombination in E. coli.

A scientist is researching GS1, an enzyme with a relative molecular mass (Mr) of 78,000 present in a bacterium. The scientist has isolated two mutant strains of the bacterium as described below. Strain A: In this strain the GS1 protein is completely non-functional. Analysis of strain A shows that it produces a shortened GS1 protein with an Mr of only 38,000. Strain B: This produces functional GS1, but the Kcat is somewhat reduced. Analysis shows it produces a lengthened form of GS1, with an Mr of about 86,000. What type(s) of mutation may have occurred in the GS1 gene in strain A?
