Answer:

Given:

Number of colonies on plate = 40

Amount of DNA used for transformation = 100ng

Volume of competent cells used = 100ul

Total volume = 1ml (1000ul)

Volume plated for growth = 200ul

The amount of cells transformed per 1 µg of DNA is called the transformation efficiency

(CFU is colony forming units) => (number of colonies on plate/ng of DNA plated) X 1000 ng/µg = CFU/µg of DNA

Amount of DNA used for plating = 100ng * (200/1000)

                                                      = 100ng * (1/5)

                                                      = 100/5 = 20ng

Efficiency calculation = 40 colonies / 20ng = 2 colonies/ng

               (2 colonies/ng) * (1000 ng/µg) = 2000 CFU/ug DNA

Transformation efficiency = 2000 Transformants / ug DNA

                                          = 2 x 10³ Transformants / ug DNA

Explanation:

Efficiency of transformation is highest in the 100 pg-1 ng range, so Low transformation efficiency could be because of high amount of DNA used for transformation.

Why do you think we have different Biomes in the
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.

Failure in a particular structure of the heart tends to cause a backup of blood in the lungs, known as pulmonary congestive hear
xeze [42]

Answer:

Left ventricle.

Explanation:

Human heart is divided into four chambers - two auricles and two ventricles. Heart acts as the pumping organ and carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the right and left ventricles.

The failure of functioning of any chamber of heart may cause a particular disease in the individuals. The pulmonary congestive heart failure occurs due to the failure of the left ventricles of the heart. The left ventricle carries blood from heart to the body tissues, its failure leads to the backup of blood in the lungs.

Thus, the answer is left ventricle.
