How would this figure change if double-stranded DNA were incorporated into the donor cell’s chromosome?

Extracted text: Gene conferring Strs. - Recipient chromosome Gene conferring StrR. Double-stranded DNA binds to the surface of a competent cell. 2 Single strand enters the cell; the other strand is degraded. 3 The strand integrates into the recipient cell's genome by homologous recombination. The strand it replaced will be degraded. Streptomycin-sensitive daughter cell- Streptomycin-resistant daughter cell After replicating the DNA, the cell divides. Non-transformed cells (Str®) die on streptomycin-containing medium, whereas transformed cells (Str) can multiply. FIGURE 8.19 DNA-Mediated Transformation The donor DNA in this case contains a gene conferring resistance to streptomycin (Str").
