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.
D. Enzymes and antibodies
Answer:
The tree will not survive due to the nature of the tundra
Explanation:
The tundra comes from a finnish word "tunturia" which means barren or treeless land. It is classified as a cold icy desert with permafrost on the ground. Unlike the tropical rain forest which is a wet climate group and is a forest of tall trees in a region of year round warmth, the tundra is cold and dry. The tundra soils are formed at high altitudes, they are usually frozen. Common plants in tundra are shrubs, herbs, lichens and grass and usually grow in groups and remain closer to the ground for prevention against cold winds. The cold nature of the tundra and its soil prevent the growth of trees because trees need to have deeper roots and they cannot grow on frozen ground.
