Answer:

The lac Z gene present in the bacteria is the main component of the lac operon. This gene codes for the enzyme known as β-galactosidase. This gene helps in the breakdown of the galactoside.

This gene is important to determine the transformant cells from the non transformant cells in the genetic engineering. The substrate used is X gal and IPTG. The non transformed cells has the functionally active  β-galactosidase gene and results in the formation of blue colonies. The non transformed cells has non functional β-galactosidase gene that do not reduce the substrate and result in the formation of white colonies.

Describe the difference plate boundaries?
Karolina [17]

There are four types of plate boundaries:  

Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.  

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.  

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.  

Plate boundary zones -- broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.
