Prolactin hormone allows a woman to produce milk after she gives birth. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What is lactation?</h3>

Lactation is the process of producing and releasing milk from the mammary glands in breasts. Lactation begins in pregnancy when hormonal changes signal the mammary glands to make milk in preparation for the birth of baby.

It’s also possible to induce lactation without a pregnancy using the same hormones that your body makes during pregnancy. Lactation ends once your body stops producing milk.

Milk ducts increase in size and number when levels of estrogen and progesterone rise. The result is a fuller breast. The mammary glands start to get ready to produce milk.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The plasmid must express a gene for ampicillin resistance (the protein product of  the <em>bla</em> gene codes for beta-lactamase, the protein that breaks down ampicillin). The colonies on the ampicillin plate are antibiotic resistant. This means that they have taken up the transformed plasmids expressing both the <em>bla</em> gene and the GFP gene.

Explanation:

The transformation involved the genetic modification of a plasmid to incorporate the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jelly fish. GFP makes cells glow under UV light.

In genetic engineering, scientists use antibiotic resistance as markers to indicate cells that have been transformed. By incorporating an antibiotic resistance gene such as <em>bla</em> into the vector (plasmid) and then growing the cells in antibiotic media, scientists determine which colonies have taken up the plasmid. Therefore, if the cells survive, this means that they contain the plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene as well as the GFP gene.
