A plasmid contains a multiple cloning site inside the coding region of the lacZ gene and also contains an ampicillin resistance

gene at a separate locus. When cells are transformed with a successfully recombinant plasmid containing a piece of DNA cloned into the multiple cloning site, what color will the colonies be when grown on an agar plate containing ampicillin and X-gal?
(a.) green
(b.) white
(c.) colonies will not grow
(d.) blue
(e.) clear

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, white.

Explanation:

In the presence of the recombinant plasmid within the colonies disruption of lac z gene takes place, which results in no production of the beta-galactosidase enzyme. Due to the non-existence of the beta-galactosidase enzyme, the colonies remain white.  

This appearance of blue color in the colonies takes place when the enzyme beta-galactosidase reacts with the substrate X-gal. Thus, in the absence of beta-galactosidase, no reaction occurs and the colonies remain white.

In the Z-scheme ____ is the initial electron donor and ____ is the final electron acceptor. A. Water; NADP B. NADPH; oxygen C. W
Aleksandr [31]
<h2>Water;NADP is the correct option</h2>

Explanation:

Z scheme also known as non cyclic electron flow which starts with the absorption of light by photosystem II

  • Z scheme involves both photosystem(PS) I and photosystem(PS) II
  • Water becomes oxidized and oxygen gas is released/evolved as a result NADP+ gets reduced and produces NADPH
  • Oxidation of water and release of protons in lumen is done by PSII whereas reduction of NADP+ to NADPH is done by PSI
  • Oxidation of water molecule establish gradient of proton and this gradient drives synthesis of ATP

For a scientific theory to be valid, it must allow you to
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

That's quite a bit of points. Offer 20 next time (which shows up as 10).

Not all experiments lend themselves to this, but the best ones do. Make predictions. The startling experiments (the best of them) certainly allow you to make predictions

Most of the time, experiments confirm what was originally thought. It is, however, the best answer among this bunch.

A is also possible, but not always. I will stick with D, but I think others will pick A.
