Which antibiotic would you use to determine if the recombinant dna was taken in?

1 answer:

6 0

Antibiotic used include kenamycin, ampicillin and tetracycline. This is useful to determine if and which bacteria took up the plasmid as they were supposed to during the process of recombination. Host bacteria are normally killed by these antibiotics. If the recombinant plasmids were taken up by the bacteria, plasmid may have contained a DNA gene for resisting the effects of one or more antibiotics. Host bacteria are placed in a growth medium containing an antibiotic to which they have a resistant gene in their recombinant plasmid DNA survivor. If they havent taken the plasmid they die.

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden, and she has 5 red bulbs and 5 white bulbs to plant in one row. What is the probability t

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{126}$ or 0.0079.

Explanation:

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden.

Number of red (R) bulbs = 5

Number of white (W) bulbs = 5

Total number of ways to plant 10 bulbs in one row is

$\text{Total ways}=\frac{10!}{5!5!}$

$\text{Total ways}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 5!}$

Cancel out common factors.

$\text{Total ways}=252$

It is given that she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other.

Required outcomes are

RRRRRWWWWW and WWWWWRRRRR

$\text{Required outcomes}=2$

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Required outcomes}}{\text{Total ways}}$

$Probability=\frac{2}{252}$

$Probability=\frac{1}{126}$

$Probability\approx 0.0079$

Therefore the required probability is $\frac{1}{126}$ or 0.0079.

If a cells nucleus has 55% adenine bases, how many cytosine bases will be present?

Nostrana [21]

If a cell’s nucleus has 55% adenine bases it also has 55% thymine bases, so the percentage of cytosine bases is 45% as same as guanine bases.

This is known as Chargaff's rule which states that DNA should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases (the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the same thing with adenine and thymine).

DNA molecule globally has percentage base pair equality: %A = %T and %G = %C.

Law of independent assortment states

cestrela7 [59]

One of these principles, now known as Mendel's law of independent assortment, states that allele pairs separate during the formation of gametes. This means that traits are transmitted to offspring independently of one another.
