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.

skelet666 [1.2K]
<span>The sun's energy is the primary source of energy for all surface phenomena and life on Earth. Combined with the material of the Earth (including the molecules held close by the Earth's gravitational force called the atmosphere), this energy provides for the immense diversity of life forms that are found on the Earth. We will now look in detail at solar energy and its interplay with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere. </span>

As a result of global warming, what evolutionary changes could we infer might eventually be seen in polar bears?
mina [271]

Answer:

Loose of body hair, reduction of body fat percentage and changes in life habits.

Explanation:

One of the most notorious changes would be the loss of body hair, due to the temperature increase. The amount of hair that polar bears now posses, helps them with keeping their body warm in very cold temperatures, as well as the body fat, which would also be reduced because of the excess of heat. Finally, their life habits could also change, as for example, part of the body fat helps them with hibernation, so these periods could be reduced or even lost.

slamgirl [31]
Based on the description above, the phenomenon that is being described is called SYNERGISM. Synergism occurs in this when both GH and Testosterone are being used and created a rather better outcome that it is given separately. The combined effect gave a better result.
