You have isolated a DNA fragment containing a human gene involved in lung cancer and are working inserting it into a standard pl

asmid vector used in molecular cloning which has a multiple cloning site in the lacZ gene. After cutting the DNA fragment and the vector with the same restriction enzyme and ligating the cut DNA, you transform bacteria with hopefully the recombinant vector. How do you expect to identify bacteria with the recombinant vector?
A. Bacteria with the recombinant vector will be resistant to antibiotic treatment and form blue colonies in the presenceof X-gal.
B. Bacteria with the recombinant vector will be resistant to antibiotic treatment and form white colonies in the presenceof X-gal.
C. Bacteria with the recombinant vector will be sensitive to antibiotic treatment and form blue colonies in the presenceof X-gal.
D. Bacteria with the recombinant vector will be sensitive to antibiotic treatment and form white colonies in the presenceof X-gal.
E. None of these are correct.

Answer:

Option

Explanation:

Beta-galactosidase is a protein encoded by the lacZ gene and the process of alpha complementation is used in identifying the vector recombinant,

The insertion of the target DNA fragment into a vector; whose inactive beta galctosidase has been made functional by adding an alpha peptide will disrupt the complementation process and then render the protein non-functional such that the transformed bacteria cells becomes sensitive to antibiotic treatment and then proceed to form white colonies in the presence of X-gal. While cells that have plasmids with DNA inserts will remain resistant and form blue colonies in the presence of X-gal.

Why would prokaryotic cells be considered a simple cell when compared to eukaryotic cell?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cells are more simple and smaller than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are structurally more simple because of their small size. It's also defined as the smaller a cell size, the greater is its surface to volume ratio (means surface area of a cell compared to its volume).

In smaller prokaryotic cells, a large surface to volume ratio is present. It means that nutrients can rapidly and easily reach any interior part of the cell.

The large eukaryotic cell have limited surface area as compared to its volume it means that nutrients cannot rapidly reach to all interior parts of the cell, because of that eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells, and they require specialized internal organelles to carry out processes like provide energy, metabolism and transport necessary chemicals throughout the cell.

Carbon dioxide is used by producers (autotrophs) to make their food which is sugar. True or false?
natima [27]

Answer:

Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar. The glucose gives plants energy

The Water Cycle What would most likely happen if it didn’t rain in a certain area for a long period of time?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
