Putting all these observations together, Wollman and Jacob deduced that, in
the conjugating Hfr, single-stranded DNA transfer begins from a fixed point on
the donor chromosome, termed the origin (O), and continues in a linear fashion.
The point O is now known to be the site at which the F plasmid is inserted. The
farther a gene is from 0, the later it is transferred to the F~. The transfer process
will generally stop before the farthermost genes are transferred, and, as a result,
these genes are included in fewer exconjugants. Note that a type of chromosome
