Answer:

a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.

Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.

<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>

The correct option is a.

What would have happened if we had cut both the jellyfish glo gene and puc18 plasmid with the ecor1 restriction enzyme?
nekit [7.7K]
On the off chance that there is an EcoR1 site in either the center of the Glo quality, or amidst the selectable marker site in the plasmid, it would likely debilitate either Glo, or the plasmid.I hope this will help.
