Answer:

Red fluorescent protein gene (rfp):

Used as fluorescent marker to identify a protein or particular gene sequence.

Ampicillin resistant gene (ampR):

Used to identify transformed colonies from untransformed ones.

Kanamycin resistant gene (kanR):

Used to identify transformed colonies from untransformed ones.

Explanation:

  • Red fluorescent protein, originally discovered in the Anthozoan genus Discosoma, is a fluorescent chemical compound that emits fluorescence upon excitation. The red fluorescent protein, along with green, yellow and cyan fluorescent proteins, is used as a marker to identify particular proteins or genes. For example, if a plasmid with the desired gene of interest and an RFP is transformed into an expression system, RFP's fluorescence upon excitation can tell us whether the plasmid has successfully entered the cells.
  • Ampicillin resistant gene (ampR) and kanamycin resistant gene (kanR) are both genes that confer resistance against the antibiotics ampicillin and kanamycin, respectively. In biotechnological techniques, antibiotic resistant genes are used for two purposes: 1. To make sure how many and which colonies have transformed. 2. To make sure that if exposed to antibiotic containing media, only the colonies with the antibiotic resistant genes and the gene of interest survive.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Gastrocnemius and soleus muscles are jointly known as calf. Gastrocnemius is the larger muscle and connects to the knee joint while soleus is smaller muscle that connects to the portion of leg just below the knee. When gastrocnemius is stretched, the knee remains straight while when the soleus is stretched the knee bends. If a person feels difficulty in bending or stretching the knees, he/she must be facing the problem with the calf muscle. Hence, Option C is correct

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The faster the particles are moving, the more energy they have. Why is convection more important than conduction in the troposphere? The air doesn't conduct heat well so only the first few meters of the troposphere are heated with conduction

List the 3 stages of cellular respiration.
Contact [7]
The three main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) would include Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. The Krebs Cycle takes Citric Acid which is a derivative of Pyruvic Acid and converts this through 4 cycles into Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water in the Mitochondrial Matrix.
