Answer:

E.coli is a bacterium which is preffered for transformation due to its rapid growth and high efficiency of introduction of DNA molecules into cells.

Tetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat several infections such as cholera, plague, brucellosis, and malaria etcetra.

Plasmid is a small, extrachromosomal DNA molecule present in cell which is seprated from chromosomal DNA and have ability to replicate independently.

When a plasmid resistant to tetracycline and kanamycine is inserted into E.coli, the process is called transformation. E.coli might not be able to survive due to absence of plasmid but the transformed strains having antibiotic tetracycline and kanamycine will probably be able to survive it.

Hence, the culture of bacteria carrying plasmid will be able to survive only.

1 . What happens in the population if the mutation phenotype is helpful
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.

2. This happens to the population because this helpful phenotype might lead to less exposure to predation in which leads to a better survival fitness for the organism.

3. This mutation continues to exist as the organisms continue to successfully reproduce into the population due to being able to survive for longer.
