Answer:

Ampicillin in a plate do as to help in maintaining ampicillin resistance plasmid in the growing medium

Explanation:

Ampicillin is an antibiotics that help to kill E.coli bacteria .

While growing bacteria in a plate or growing medium, it is important to add ampicillin to the plate so to maintain ampicillin resistance plasmid.

The absence of ampilicin, the bacteria will lose their resistance after they might have gone through some cell divisions and any bacteria that doesn't have resistance plasmid will be more vigorous than those that have and will outcompete them

DanielleElmas [232]
There is no answer that is right except for C. Natural Selection.

Genetic Recombination doesn't change gene frequency;nor does migration. (Unless it's local)

Mutation could be the answer, but since mutations are too rare to really power Evolution, the only logical answer is Natural Selection.

What was the purpose of adding methotrexate to the cells expressing a genetically-engineered Dihydrofolate Reductase enzyme in t
ira [324]

Answer:

Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of the cells in the experiment.

Explanation:

Methotrexate competitively inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) which is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate from the inactive dihydrofolate. The methotrexate blocks the enzyme by binding to its active site thereby preventing further reaction of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a useful material for the de novo synthesis of thymidine, a nucleoside. And without thymidine, DNA synthesis is hindered. Methotrexate therefore inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, thymidylates and of course protein synthesis.
